I downloaded VMServer 2.0 Beta 1 today from here and installed it. It has a web interface for creating and administering VM images. It uses Tomcat webserver for this purpose.
For several minutes I struggled to log in to the web console, because it is asking for username and password. It never asked me these details while installing. The username and passwords on tomcat-users.xml didn’t work. Finally in the release note, I figured it out, that it uses OS authentication.
But, again there is a small issue for me. Since I only use my PC, i do not have passwords for the OS accounts. But the VMWare web console doesn’t take an empty password. hmmmmmmm…… quite frustrating.. Finally I gave up and set password for my Windows OS account… Grrrrrrrr…
Finally, I could able to get into VMWare console.
