i am new for fix firewall

i want to configure ssl configure on pix 501 firewall but i dont konw what software i would need fro client using ssl ports.

if anyone have idea what am i talking about please give me advise on this.

thank you
 
There are a lot of clients that support SSL. I use Secure CRT from VanDyke software. There a few free ones available as well.
 
i have licence for 10 user but not really know how to configure.

 
I am a little confused do you want SSH configured or SSL?

If you use SSL configure PDM.


If you want SSH do the following:

hostname PIX

domain-name pix.com

ca generate rsa key 512

ca save all

ssh 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 (or whatever your inside network is)

i want to configure with SSH and SSL vpn..... do you know which vpn client program i would need for configure SSH.
 
after you configure the pubkey,you need to enble ssh on the pix and get an ssh client for your workstation---putty works well and it is free.

once again

Thank you for all the help. but i have another problem i cant ping my outside port or get in through SSH.

it would be big help if someone help me with this
 
Are you sure you just haven't ICMP enabled on the outside Interface?

icmp permit any outside

Fine for testing but you might want to disable this or allow a specific IP once you are ready to install at a site. Allowing anyone to ping PIX from outside not good :(


 
even though i have icmp enable outside ports. i cant ping. well i dont really know what is the problems.

i just want to test this pix 501 but i dont know if i shuld behind the 4 port router or straight connect to DSL. if anyone have any idea give me suggestion.


Thank you

I've had this problem with several PIXs running any of the 6.3 codes. If you have any type of an access list on the external interface you have to add a ACL to allow the ICMP traffic. Like this.

access-list outside_access_in permit icmp any any
