Cisco ASDM unable to launch after updating ASDM

This is a workaround for the issue where Cisco ASDM does not launch after updating ASDM.

Steps

1. Create a new PowerShell entry.
   

   

2. In the Command field, enter Start-Process "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\ASDM\jre\bin\javaw.exe".

3. In the Arguments field, enter -ArgumentList "-Xms64m -Xmx512m -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture=true -classpath lzma.jar;jploader.jar;asdm-launcher.jar;retroweaver-rt-2.0.jar com.cisco.launcher.Launcher cert.PEM".

4. Check the Change default working directory option.

5. Set the path to C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco System\ASDM.

6. Go to the Host and Credentials tab.

7. Input the Host and credentials.

8. Go to Connection – Events, then the After Open tab.
   

   

9. Under the After open - Macro section, input $HOST${TAB}$USERNAME${TAB} into the Typing macro field.

   The password parameter $PASSWORD${ENTER} is optional. If used, it also needs to be configured correctly under Security – Security Settings.

10. Click OK to close the window and create the entry.
