Deploying OVF from local datastore - prompted for username / password?

[faxfan2002]

Hi,

When I deploy an OVF template from the local data store I always get prompted for a username / password (Windows auth type box), I simply cannot get past this point. The event log is showing "Cannot login root@<ip of client machine>".

Logging into the client is obviously ok (and the event log shows "User root@192.168.1.30 logged in as").

Help!

Vsphere client 5.5.0 - 1281650

ESXi 5.5.0 - 2718055

You need to put the username and password of the VMware account that is used to buy the product

Hope it helps
