Open Orchestrator JNLP files on OSX

New job. New laptop. But of course it isn't set up like the old one. It doesn't have all of the tweaks that I made over the years on it.

One annoyance, what with me being a heavy and frequent user of vRealize Orchestrator, is that client.jnlp files downloaded from the vRO web interface don't have an application association by default. I'm writing this as a quick reference just in case I need it again anytime soon.

  1. Having downloaded and saved the client.jnlp file as normal, use the finder app to select the file, right click and select “Open with > Other…”.
  2. Browse to this path: /System/Library/CoreServices
  3. Select the executable Java-Web-Start.app
  4. Tick the “Always Open With” option.
  5. Click “Open”.
