Log Into ASDM
Launch ASDM so you can configure the ASA.
The ASA includes 3DES capability by default for management access only, so you can connect to the License
Authority and also use ASDM immediately. You can also use SSH and SCP if you later configure SSH access
on the ASA. Other features that require strong encryption (such as VPN) must have the Strong Encryption
license enabled, which requires you to first register to the License Authority.
Note
If you attempt to configure any features that can use strong encryption before you have the license—even if
you only configure weak encryption—then your HTTPS connection will be dropped on that interface, and
you cannot reconnect. The exception to this rule is if you are connected to a management-only interface, such
as Management 1/1. SSH is not affected. If you lose your HTTPS connection, you can connect to the console
port to reconfigure the ASA, connect to a management-only interface, or connect to an interface not configured
for a strong encryption feature.
