How do I tweak [Java on?] Ubuntu 16.04 so that Cisco ASDM (the GUI interface for their ASA firewalls) can run?

I tried this on Ubuntu 18.04, still works. It may ask you repeatedly if it's ok to accept self-signed certificates, and I had problems with one ASA's .jnlp file not being right, but it's basically worked fine.

From: https://community.cisco.com/t5/firewalls/asdm-on-ubuntu/td-p/3067651 Subject: Installing ASDM on Ubuntu. Here is what I do. Install java web start (aka icedtea). sudo apt-get install icedtea-plugin Then I have a single line script, which I call asdm. javaws https://$1/admin/public/asdm.jnlp Make it executable: chmod +x asdm Then to run ASDM on say, 1.2.3.4: ./asdm 1.2.3.4 This doesn't require any web browser, or web browser support. It just uses the native installed java directly.
