iDRAC JNLP Fixer

A tiny utility for legacy infrastructure

Make legacy iDRAC JNLP downloads usable again.

iDRAC JNLP Fixer catches the filename that old Dell PowerEdge consoles generate and changes it to the name your JNLP association expects.

The one problem it solves

Some legacy consoles append session data to the filename.

The JNLP content may be fine, but a filename such as viewer.jnlp(...) can stop an existing JNLP association from recognizing it. The extension changes the filename during the download and leaves the file contents alone.

Before

viewer.jnlp(192.0.2.10@0@server,+PowerEdge+R710...)

After

viewer.jnlp

How it works

Three small decisions. No extra infrastructure.

01

Watch the proposed filename

The browser tells the extension the filename, source URL and referrer while a download is being prepared.

02

Match a narrow pattern

Only legacy viewer.jnlp(...) and jviewer.jnlp(...) shapes are eligible. Normal PDFs, ZIPs and other downloads are left alone.

03

Suggest a safe filename

The browser saves the result as viewer.jnlp or jviewer.jnlp, using its normal duplicate-file handling.

Private by design

It fixes a filename, not your whole server.

  • Runs locally in the browser with no developer backend.
  • Does not inspect downloaded file contents or browsing history.
  • Does not launch Java, change TLS, bypass certificates or alter Java security.
  • Optional host filtering helps keep the matching scope narrow.

Scope boundary

JNLP runtime problems remain separate.

This product does not include a remote console, Java launcher, certificate workaround or server-management features. You still need a compatible Java/OpenWebStart setup and a reachable legacy iDRAC environment.

Frequently asked

What to expect before you install.

Which browsers are supported?

The extension targets Chromium browsers. The primary QA matrix covers Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Brave, with Windows as the primary QA platform and macOS used for development.

Does it solve every iDRAC problem?

No. It only fixes the download filename. TLS, certificates, Java versions, OpenWebStart associations and the legacy console itself are outside the product's scope.

Will it modify ordinary downloads?

The matching rules are deliberately conservative. A normal filename such as report.pdf is ignored, and an existing target file is never overwritten by the extension.

How does the free trial work?

Installation includes 3 matching JNLP renames. Ordinary downloads do not use the trial. After the third fix, matching downloads keep their original filename until you activate a license; the download still completes.

Do I need a subscription?

No. A one-time €2.99 lifetime license unlocks unlimited renames on up to 3 active browser profiles. Buy through Lemon Squeezy, then paste the license key in the popup and choose Activate. No account is required inside the extension.

Can I use it on ChromeOS?

The extension only renames the downloaded file. Opening a JNLP still requires a compatible Java/OpenWebStart environment. Windows is the primary tested platform; ChromeOS execution of the legacy Java console is not part of our tested coverage.

Need help?

Ask a focused question about a filename or host rule.

Support can help separate a rename problem from a Java/OpenWebStart problem. Please do not send passwords, private keys or complete license keys.
