Manage Cisco ASA over vpn connection

ARGH.. this drove me mad.. A surprisingly simple / common thing people may want to do is
- setup a Cisco ASA device (in this case a 5505) at a satellite office
- establish an VPN over the internet from this device to the main office
- manage device remotely via this VPN link.

In this case all that was required, in addition to the vpn setup was:
ssh 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 inside
ssh timeout 30
ssh version 2
management-access inside

The key being "management-access inside", just thought i'd post about it because it drove me mad, and its so easy when you know how.

Heres a link:
