Shutting Down the Module
If you restart the ASA, the module is not automatically restarted. To shut down the module, perform the
following steps at the ASA CLI.
Detailed Steps
Debugging the Module
To enable ASA CX debugging, enter the following command:
When you enable the authentication proxy, the ASA generates a debug messge when it sends an
authentication proxy TLV to the ASA CX module, giving details of IP and port:
DP CXSC Event: Sent Auth proxy tlv for adding Auth Proxy on interface: inside4.
DP CXSC Event: Sent Auth proxy tlv for adding Auth Proxy on interface: cx_inside.
DP CXSC Event: Sent Auth proxy tlv for adding Auth Proxy on interface: cx_outside.
When the interface IP address is changed, auth-proxy tlv updates are sent to CXSC:
DP CXSC Event: Sent Auth proxy tlv for removing Auth Proxy for interface inside.
DP CXSC Event: Sent Auth proxy tlv for adding Auth Proxy on interface: inside.
When a flow is freed on the ASA, the ASA CX module is notified so it can clean up the flow:
DP CXSC Msg: Notifying CXSC that flow (handle:275233990) is being freed for
192.168.18.5:2213 -> 10.166.255.18:80.
When the ASA CX module sends a redirect to a client to authenticate, and that redirect is sent to the
ASA, the ASA sends it to the ASA CX module. In this example, 192.168.18.3 is the interface address
and port 8888 is the authentication proxy port reserved on that interface for the authentication proxy
feature:
DP CXSC Msg: rcvd authentication proxy data from 192.168.18.5:2214 -> 192.168.18.3:8888,
forwarding to cx
When a VPN connection is established on the ASA, and the ASA sends connection information to the
ASA CX module:
CXSC Event: Dumping attributes from the vpn session record
CXSC Event: tunnel->Protocol: 17
CXSC Event: tunnel->ClientVendor: SSL VPN Client
