Introduction to asdm-openjre-7202.bin Software
The asdm-openjre-7202.bin package combines Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) version 7.20(2) with OpenJRE 1.8.x, providing a complete management solution for Cisco ASA 5500-X series firewalls. This release addresses Java dependency challenges by embedding a FIPS 140-3 compliant OpenJDK runtime, eliminating the need for separate Java installations in air-gapped environments.
Certified for use with ASA OS 9.16(3)+, this build introduces mandatory digital signature verification for configuration files and supports hybrid management of physical/virtual firewall clusters. The software maintains backward compatibility with legacy ASA 5500-X models while adding native support for Secure Firewall 3100/4100 series appliances.
