Problem Accessing PDM

[haithamnofal]

Hi All,

Can someone help me resolving my problem; I've configured my PIX to be accessed through PDM from my subnet range and enabled the http server on the PIX. When trying to access the PIX through the browser, I'm prompted to the digital certificate and to enter the logon credentials but when entering the enable password and leaving the username blank (since the authentication type for the console is local), an HTTP 404 (the page not found) error message appears. I'm running PIX OS 6.3(5) and my client PC has Java Ver. 1.4.2. Does anybody have any idea of what could be the problem?

Thanks,

Haitham

Hi,

Is PDM installed? you can verify by "show version"

you can try from a different pc. you can try the following

ca zeroize rsa

ca gen rsa key 512

ca save all

thanks

The PIX OS is 6.3(5) which comes with PDM installed by default, doesnt it?

Here's the output of show ver:

Does this mean that PDM is not installed on my FW?

When trying to access the PDM from another machines, it doesnt work either.. Please advise.

the output of "sh ver" indicates that pdm is not installed.

you mentioned your machine has java plug-in v1.4.2 and it wouldn't work. i guess the you were attempting to connect to pdm v3.0(2). many pdm version doesn't support jave plug-in v1.4.2_08 and v1.5.0_02 or later

to resolve the issue, upgrade the pdm to the latest and it's v3.0(4). download a copy pdm requires special access right, e.g. a service agreement.

below is the guide for pdm installation:
