It found some error message with NotAuthenticated: The session is not authenticated. As i understanding, we need create the local account and assign with correct permission. May i know have any setup document with local account permission assignment can be reference? 

Best Regards

Hello,

Creating shared local account is discussed on page 62 on the PCNS VMware User's Guide. I have also attached a PDF that discusses the setup.
