asdm is unable to read the configuration from the asa

Ever get that message?  It stumped me for a while, but then I found the solution.  The problem is that the cached software is just out of sync with the version on the appliance itself, you just need to clear it:Log into the ASDM software, then:

1. click on the file menu, clear your cache!
2. click on the file menu again, clear the internal log buffer!
3. click on the refresh button on the toolbar!

That should get you in!
