pix 501 pdm access deny error

[riverajuan]

lost my conection to the pix using the PDM, access deny error after i enter the second password. It seems like it has to do with java. I still conect perfec trough the console any sugestion apreciated.

Check pix configuration:

http server enable

http inside

checked it and are ok also the ip for the computer conecting trough the pdm is ok. I'm geting an certificate error. still not able to connect trough pdm.

Check if PC-java version is supported by PDM.

as mpalardy said, first you should check that your browser fullfill the java requirements.

then if you have a certificate error, you should check the date and time on the pc accessing the PDM and on the pix, they should be the same.

I am having the same problem and tried both suggestions at no avail -- did anything work for you (riverajuan)?

[riverajuan]

No nothing works for know. I got information that the new java is not compatible with PDM. I purchase a cisco service contract to upgrade my pix to the lates version to se if this solves the issue I should be recieving it by friday I espect to have a solution next week. If this works be glad to inform you.

A combination of tftp server from 3com wich I downloaded free and upgrading the pix 501 to version 6.3.5 and the pdm version to 3.0.4 and the lates java version, I am now a happy camper, everithing work perfec and restored acces to PDM.

Make sure that the updates you download from cisco wish are pdm-304.bin and pix635.bin are copied to the tftp foulder named tftpboot in under the program file\3com

fouderder and fo. any ? email me be glad to explain.
