Boot Runner VM Boot No Login

Boot Runner
1

I try to boot a VM in Boot Runner and it just shows me the login prompt for MacOS and never logs in.

If I log in with the user I created it does load the VM.

Any ideas the user exists and the username and password is typed correctly but it never tries to login.

Is it possible to share the configuration profile you created? Please send it to support@twocanoes.com and I’ll take a look at it.

When it goes to auto login with this config i get a - for the username and a circle then it fails back to boot runner. Also of note the VMPassword is not the password I typed.

After further review I found that this was old image and something must have been misconfigured. I tried on a new clean OS and it works fine with no issues. So the issue is with our build and not with your software.
