Hi All: I have a PIX 506e running version 6.3(4) and PDM 3.0(2).
The PIX is a couple of years old, and if I try to load the PDM on anything
newer than Win2K/IE6, I get a java exception error in the browser and the
PDM window doesn't open. Is this a function of how old the PDM version is,
or is there a different issue affecting what computer/browser/java version
can access the PDM?
If, as I suspect, the PIX should be updated, is the only way to get the new
software by purchasing a support contract from Cisco?

Java compatability problems. You will need an -older- Java version.

The newest PIX version you could get for the 506E would be one of
the 6.3(5) subreleases, and if you are the registered owner of the
device then you are entitled to that subrelease anyhow due to
security problems in what you are running.
PIX 7.x is not -supported- on the PIX 506E (though some people say
they have managed to run it... but usually in order to get it to
fit they have to drop the ASDM software that is the PIX 7.x
equivilent of PDM... which would rather defeat your purposes.)
I don't know if you could even get a service contract on your
506E at this point, as it has been EOS'd, and EOL cannot be far off now.

To be precise, you will need version 1.3

Is that true even for the latest versions of PIX?
I have a Vista laptop that I would prefer to use for PDM access...it has
Java 6 Update 5 installed on it. Is it safe to uninstall that and install
1.3? (and would that even work?)
Or do I need to keep a VM of XP handy <g>?

Latest versions of the PDM (now called ASDM)works with the newest
versions of Java.

It would all depend on the requirements of Java 1.3, I can not say if it
is Vista compatible. I can say with XP you can uninstall the isntalled
version of Java and download 1.3 from java.com.
