Hi guy,

I have just export a VM machine as a Virtual Appliance and I wonder:
Is there any way I can password protect my Virtual Appliance?


Thanks,

Eran Levi

The Browser Appliance allows users to securely browse the Internet
using Mozilla Firefox. Run the Browser Appliance with VMware Player.

Hello,

ZIP, RAR, 7zip or otherwise use an archiving tool to compress and password protect your virtual appliance.

You could include True Crypt within your virtual appliance and encrypt the disk thereby needing a password to decrypt the disk.....

Lots of options here.
