Cisco Cisco ASA 5505 Adaptive Security Appliance

Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) delivers world-class security management and 
monitoring services for Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliances through an intuitive, 
easy-to-use, web-based management interface. Bundled with supported security appliances, the device 
manager accelerates security appliance deployment with intelligent wizards, robust administration tools, 
and versatile monitoring services that complement the advanced security and networking features 
offered by Cisco ASA 5500 series adaptive security appliance software Version8.0(3). Its secure, 
web-based design enables anytime, anywhere access to security appliances.

 lists the new features for ASA and PIX Version 8.0(3)/ASDM Version 6.0(3).

AnyConnect RSA SoftID API 
Integration

Provides support for AnyConnect VPN clients to communicate directly with RSA SoftID 
for obtaining user token codes. It also provides the ability to specify SoftID message 
support for a connection profile (tunnel group), and the ability to configure SDI messages 
on the security appliance that match SDI messages received through a RADIUS proxy. 
This feature ensures the prompts displayed to the remote client user are appropriate for 
the action required during authentication and the AnyConnect client responds 
successfully to authentication challenges.

IP Address Reuse Delay

Delays the reuse of an IP address after it has been returned to the IP address pool. 
Increasing the delay prevents problems the security appliance may experience when an 
IP address is returned to the pool and reassigned quickly.

In ASDM, see Configure > Remote Access VPN > Network (Client) Access > Address 
Assignment > Assignment Policy. 

Clientless SSL VPN Caching 
Static Content Enhancement

There are two changes to the clientless SSL VPN caching commands: 

The cache-compressed command is deprecated. 

The new cache-static-content command configures the adaptive security appliance to 
cache all static content, which means all cacheable Web objects that are not subject to 
SSL VPN rewriting. This includes content such as images and PDF files. 

The syntax of the command is cache-static-content {enable | disable}. By default, static 
content caching is disabled. 

Example: 

hostname (config) # webvpn 

hostname (config-webvpn) # cache 

hostname (config-webvpn-cache) # cache-static-content enable 

hostname (config-webvpn-cache) # 

In ASDM, see Configuration > Remote Access VPN > Clientless SSL VPN Access > 
Advanced > Content Cache.
