VRDP and VBoxAuthSimple

Post by dado728 »

Greetings to all,
first of all believe me, I've spent 2 days searching for a solution but I ran out of options.
I have a virtual machine running WIndows 7 on a Mac OS computer and I would like to access it from another computer using remote desktop. It works perfectly without authentication.

However, the machine log keeps returning the very same error
00:02:57.624265 VRDP: New connection:
00:02:57.624357 VRDP: Connection opened (IPv4): 7

00:02:57.687433 AUTH: Access denied.
00:02:57.687444 VRDP: Connection closed: 7
- I have set the VBoxAuthSimple authentication with users and passwords according to the official instructions (section 7.1.5. RDP Authentication of VirtualBox manual).
- I am accessing via Windows Remote Desktop (both from the Mac running the VM and another Windows 10 laptop) saving both user and password, but the error is still the same
- I have tried also with VBoxAuth system entering with both Mac (the one running the VM) and Windows 7 VM user and password: same error.
- I have tried to copy VBoxAuthSimple.dylib into VBoxAuthSimple2.dylib file in the VirtualBox app, setting up a new user: same error.

Honestly, I ran out of options. Any ideas?

Thank you!
