I am having issues running programs remotely on our mac vm's. It works find on the windows vm's.
In fact any action that requires a guest user is failing.
The error I get is:
ERROR: Client received SOAP Fault from server: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.
com.sun.xml.internal.ws.fault.ServerSOAPFaultException: Client received SOAP Fault from server: Failed to authenticate with the guest operating system using the supplied credentials. Please see the server log to find more detail regarding exact cause of the failure.
