Firewall at the transition to the campus network

from Monday, June 22, 2026 7:00 am till Wednesday, July 8, 2026 9:00 pm

The firewall software at the decentral locations has to be updated. The ASDM will also be updated to the latest version. Administrators using ASDM with Oracle Java will automatically receive the new version the first time they connect after the update. After that, the target may need to be corrected to: C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe invisible.vbs run.bat Administrators using ASDM with OpenJRE should download and install it before the firewall updates; access to non-updated virtual firewalls will work with the new ASDM.You can find tghe download link in the FAQ:  https://tickets.tu-dresden.de/otrs/customer.pl?Action=CustomerFAQZoom;ItemID=574

The locations are defined by routing domains and are described here; you will also find a list of the related buildings here: https://faq.tickets.tu-dresden.de/otrs/public.pl?Action=PublicFAQZoom;ItemID=1188
