I need some assistance on the setup of the Vmware app. I am receiving an error, which is below, however we have validated credentials etc. and they are correct. How do we get past this?

"Could reach host, but login failed"

Buried in the back of the documentation in one sentence is the fact that you have to “allowRemoteLogin=always” on the universal forwarder. 🙂
