Hi all, can the password of a VBox RDP server be changed using VBoxManage, using the following command? >> vboxmanage setcredentials <username> <password> <domain>
I did not have any luck in my initial testing... From the VBox documentation, I am not too optimistic, since it only mentions out-of-the-box support for host OS credentials... Perhaps using SETCREDENTIALS does work in the meanwhile and I am missing something? Or do I have to write some C code based on the 9.3 section of the manual (Custom external VRDP authentication)? Basically, I want to provide external users temporary access to a VBox session (using RDP, VNC, or whatever remote desktop protocol). After shutting down a session using VBoxManage, I want to change the password for the particular VBox machine and then start it again for another user... Originally, I presumed I had to install a VNC server within the virtual machines but ran into the problem that for Windows guests, the password of VNC servers cannot be changed dynamically/programmatically to a new password... so I was quite happy to discover the potential of using VBOX RDP in combination with SETCREDENTIALS...
