If you want to use the Orchestrator client to connect to the Orchestrator server not through the Java Web Start, but to have the client installed on your local machine, you must download and install the Orchestrator client.

After you complete the installation, you can start the Orchestrator client and connect to the Orchestrator server installed with the Orchestrator Appliance.
