How to automate logon to Linux from Windows command line ?
Posted: 22. Nov 2011, 08:35
Hi,
I've tried to configure my VM (Fedora) for automating logon. I followed the document (chapter 9) to config it.
1. Install the guest addin version 4.1.6
2. copy pam_vbox.so to lib64/security
3. add "auth required pam_vbox.so" at the top.
I think, that's enough for configuration.
I ran the command line from Windows 7.
VBoxManage.exe" setproperty vrdeauthlibrary "VBoxAuthSimple"
VBoxManage.exe" modifyvm "my VM name/UUID" --vrdeauthtype external
VBoxManage.exe" setextradata "my VM name/UUID" "VBoxAuthSimple/users/<my user>" <hashed>
the I started the VM with:
VBoxManage.exe" --nologo startvm "<my VM name/UUID>" --type headless
VBoxManage.exe controlvm "my VM name/UUID" setcredentials "<my user>" "<my password>" "<my domain>"
But I can not logon to Linux. Any one can help me ? What's I wrong ? Thanks.
