Update Nov 1, 2017:David Bombal shows this method in his videos“GNS3, Cisco ASA and ASDM: Configure VIRL ASAv firewall with GNS3 and ASDM”Part 4 andPart 5.
David Bombal made a very nice video series:GNS3, Cisco ASA and ASDM: Configure VIRL ASAv firewall with GNS3 and ASDM.He uses a Windows VM as a client, where here installed Java.One drawback is, that the Java installation has to bere-done on every new project.Furthermore the license of the Windows VM is time limited.When it expires, you have to delete the VM from the projectand insert a fresh one.
Instead I’m using Java in a docker container for ASDM.I’ve added Java to my webterm docker image and published it asehlers/web_java.It contains the Firefox web browser, Java and Java web start.Please note, that Firefox has disabled the Java plugin,so this is not included in this image.
To import it into GNS3 open the preferences,select the Docker / Docker Containers sectionand click on “New”.
The “New Docker VM template” wizard will start and it asks a couple of questions:
- Server type: Run this Docker VM on the GNS3 VM
- Docker image: Select “New Image” andenter “ehlers/web_java” as the image name.
- Name: Give the VM a name, e.g. web_java
- Adapters: Stick with the default value of 1
- Start command: Leave it empty
- Console type: Change it to “vnc”
- Environment: Leave it empty, then finish the wizard.
Now the Docker VM preferences window will show up.You have the option to edit the just created template,for example change the symbol.When you’re done, leave the preferences with “OK”.
Like in David’s video create a new project:
On the first time the web_java VM is added,it will be downloaded from the internet, about 200 MB.So depending on your internet access, it may take a while.Then configure a static IP address (here 10.1.1.1, netmask 255.255.255.0)for the web_java-1 VM (right-click / Edit config).Now start everything up.The ASAv will reboot after the initial boot, that’s normal.
The ASAv needs an initial configuration,mainly an IP address on the inside interface,a username/password for management accessand an enabled http server.
All that is shown in David’ssecond videoof the GNS3, Cisco ASA and ASDM video series starting at 5:38.
On the web_java VM we can start the web browser(click on thebutton and select Applications / Mozilla Firefox).Then open the web site https://<ASA-IP>/, in our case https://10.1.1.254/.But the ASA page doesn’t recognize the already installed Java web start,it allows only a new installation of Java.So that’s a dead end.
Searching the internet gives the solution,use
javaws https://<ASA-IP>/admin/public/asdm.jnlp
in a terminal window.While that works, it’s a little bit cumbersome.Therefore I’ve added a Cisco ASDM launcher,integrated in the applications menu.Just put in the ASA IP address and the ASDM starts.The web browser doesn’t need to be open for ASDM.Now you can continue following David’s videos,starting with thesecondone at 10:34.
Update Nov 6, 2017:
For running ASDM v6.xxx make the following changesin the java configuration:
Edit /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security andremove MD5 in
Edit /etc/java-8-openjdk/security/java.security andremove MD5 in
jdk.jar.disabledAlgorithms
from the list ofdisabled code signing algorithms.In previous versions of “ehlers/web_java” the /etc/java-8-openjdk directorywas not persistent, so these changes won’t stick.This has been changed.
To update “ehlers/web_java” open a GNS3 project,that doesn’t use the web_java VM.Then start a shell in the GNS3 VM and remove the oldappliance with
docker rmi ehlers/web_java
,afterwards load the new appliance with docker pull ehlers/web_java
.
