Sorry for late follow-up to this.

Thank you Maxim and Alvaro for the info you provided. Solved the problem exactly.

Funny thing is, like a lot of the folks on here I would imagine, my background is client/server tech. My mind was so fixed on fixing something on the server side with the new installation that I wasn't even thinking to associate *.jnlp on the client side! It was a duh moment when I realized.

So, yes, perfect solution.

When attempting to Screen Share and/or Record a room/meeting, if a client computer (browser) does not run the JNLP (Java Network Launching Protocol), but rather only downloads the file or opens a code view, make sure the client computer file association for *.jnlp is javaws (Java Web Start).

My laptop is pretty much a fresh Windows 8 machine and the Java Web Start software was not available, so if you go through the steps to associate jnlp files and do not see Java in list of options, visit the Java website and install for your client, then associate.

The info Maxim and Alvaro provided will guide you to a solution. My only addition is that you will want to pay attention to the Client computer for this fix.

Cheers...

    Hello...

    Having a similar issue.

    Using Firefox and maybe other browsers, when in a room and attempt
    to Share Screen, we are presented to download or run JNLP.

    Neither option seems to do anything.  If I download it, and
    attempt to run it, it opens a new browser window to download it
    again.  If attempt to run it rather than download, it opens a new
    browser window.

    Would installation of OpenJava 7 and Icedtea be the answer for this?

    Will this overwrite Java 7?

    Thank you!

                The only option I know is
                get your own trusted SSL certificate (signed by valid CA)
                and resign screen-sharing application. (still might
                not work,
                unfortunately)
                I hope things might be better as soon as will get
                valid certificate
                from Apache and will set everything up properly

                         Hi,
                                           I'm trying to share my
                screen but I've got two issues:
                                           On Windows I get the
                following message: Application Blocked by
                         Security Settings
                                           On Linux I'm asked to
                download the jnlp file.
                                           I have to run Openmeetings
                to non skilled users, so, asking
                         them for changing any windows configuration
                will be a bad
                         idea.
                                           And anyway at this moment
                I'm not able to put this working.
                                  Any help?
                                           Is that normal? Is there
                any way to put this feature working
                         automatically?
                                                    []s
