Chapter 10 Configuring the CSC SSM
Scenario: Security Appliance with CSC SSM Deployed for Content Security
Note The SSM management port IP address must be accessible by the hosts
used to run ASDM. The IP addresses for the SSM management port
and the adaptive security appliance management interface can be in
different subnets.
• Hostname and domain name to be used for the CSC SSM
• DNS Server IP address
• HTTP proxy server IP address (if your network uses a proxy for HTTP access
to the Internet)
• Email address to be used for email notifications; IP address and port number
of an SMTP server
• IP addresses of hosts and networks to be allowed management access to the
CSC SSM
Launch ASDM
You use ASDM to configure and manage the CSC SSM. For advanced
configuration of content security policies in the CSC SSM software, you access
the web-based GUI for the CSC SSM by clicking links within ASDM.
To launch ASDM, perform the following steps:
Step 1 On a PC that has access to the management ports for the adaptive security
appliance and the CSC SSM, launch an Internet browser.
Step 2 In the address field of the browser, enter this URL: https://IP_address/
where IP_address is the IP address of the adaptive security appliance.
Note The adaptive security appliance ships with a default IP address of
192.168.1.1. Remember to add the “s” in “https” or the connection fails.
HTTPS (HTTP over SSL) provides a secure connection between your
browser and the adaptive security appliance.
Step 3 In the dialog box that requires a username and password, leave both fields empty.
Press Enter.
