1. ASDM requires an SSL connection from the browser to the ASA 1000V. By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Vista and later and Firefox on all
operating systems do not support base encryption (DES) for SSL, and therefore require the ASA 1000V to have a strong encryption (3DES/AES) license.
For Windows Internet Explorer, you can enable DES as a workaround. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929708 for details. For Firefox on any
operating system, you can enable the security.ssl3.dhe_dss_des_sha setting as a workaround. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config to learn how to
change hidden configuration preferences.

2. If you change the SSL encryption on the ASA to exclude both RC4-MD5 and RC4-SHA1 algorithms (these algorithms are enabled by default), then
Chrome cannot launch ASDM due to the Chrome “SSL false start” feature. We suggest re-enabling one of these algorithms (see the Configuration >
Device Management > Advanced > SSL Settings pane); or you can disable SSL false start in Chrome wusing the --disable-ssl-false-start flag according
to http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/run-chromium-with-flags.
