Cisco Asdm Idm Launcher Software Firewall Backup and Analysis Tool v.1.0 Firewall Backup and Analysis Tool (fBat) is a platform independent tool to manage initially Cisco ASDM FWSMs, but will be able in due time to analyze also IPTables (Netfilter) as well as IPF and PF rules.
The title is weird right? I felt that too It has a CD but no ASDM installer at least I cannot find it (maybe I am stupid or something but whatever) not all things inside the CD are windows application file, the cisco vpn client is a zip file in executable format that’s the only thing which I have clicked and run. There are manuals in pdf format and other files with binary format which windows cannot execute them, some even have pkg format which I think should be for the box instead of my laptop. The getting started guide is actually not very informative in my opinion only perhaps I am just impatient to read the starter guide from back to back, but several pictures only showed me how to connect wires-” There are a lot of manual in the CD of course Well I only browsed through them darn. Shouldn’t Cisco come out a flash demo video to show new users how to use their product at start up? First connect straight through cable to your pc or connect to a switch and from that switch to my pc.
I did an ipconfig/all these are the information from that ASA pre-configured dhcp server.

Introduction This document decribes the answer to a specific question about how to manage the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) with Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) version 7.1.3 and earlier on Macintosh OS X. How do you open ASDM-IDM Launcher when the Macintosh OS X claims 'Cisco ASDM-IDM' is damaged and cannot be opened?
When you open Adaptive Security Device Manager-IPS Device Manager Launcher (ASDM-IDM Launcher) this error appears: This error also apears in the console. The console can be found in /Applications/Utilities/Console.

How can this issue be resolved? This is caused by a missing signature in the ASDM-IDM Launcher Application. In order to avoid this issue, navigate to SettingsSecurity and PrivacyGeneral. Under 'Allow applications downloaded from', click the Anywhere radio button. It is also possible to open the Cisco ASDM-IDM package and launch the dm-launcher.jar directly from /Cisco ASDM-IDM/Contents/Resources/Java/dm-launcher.jar.
Cisco bug ID CSCuh84199 was opened to resolve this issue.
