I have access to a private online file sharing/project management website where users can login and download files (protected by individual username and passwords and HTTPS/TLS certificates) where I upload my iok files for distribution. E-mailing the iok file is also another option.

I have thought of one solution below, but it requires too much user interaction for my users;
(after uploading Omniscope.jar and the iok to the private website)... download Omniscope.jar file, download the iok, open Omniscope.jar, click Open file, locate the iok and double-click it.
Whenever the user wants to see the iok, they have to open Omniscope.jar, click Open file, locate the iok and double-click it again.

I have tried to use the link-builder tool to upload the .jnlp file to the private website and automatically run the iok, but when the user runs the .jnlp, Omniscope free viewer says the iok located on the website is corrupted (probably because it is located on a secure website, although the user is logged in via the web-browser).

Does anyone have suggestions of how to make the process easier for the end user? I would ideally like one file which the user has to open which will run the free viewer and iok.

Some solutions like the following would be good:
a) Integrating the .jnlp or .jar file with the iok so all the user needs to do is double-click one file or URL to open and run the iok
b) Getting the .jar file to automatically run the iok without the user needing to click open and locate the iok
c) Double-clicking the iok file which will cause the .jar or .jnlp file to run and open the iok (similar to how it works with the installed Omniscope)
d) Making the .jnlp file download the iok from the password protected/secure site (of-course, the .jnlp cant have passwords, but the user will be logged in to the site when clicking the .jnlp)


Many thanks for any ideas/solutions.]]>
