Can not log in as administrator using screen sharing
Computers involved:
-Computer A running Mac OS 10.7.5 with two user profiles, "administrator" and "User B"
-Computer B running Mac OS 10.8.2 with one user profile, "User B"
-Both on the same network
What I want to do:
-I want to control Computer A, logged in as "adminstrator", from Computer B without touching Computer A
I thought Screen Sharing was the way to go, but I hit an obstacle:
Screen Sharing-settings on Computer A:
-Screen Sharing: On
-Allow only access for these users: "administrator" and "User B"
What I have tried:
-No one logged in to Computer A
-Click on Computer A in Finder on Computer B
-Click "Share screen"
-Log in-screen appears
-Enter "administrator" and password for the user "adminstrator"
What happens when i try this:
-Dialog appears with two options: 1. Share screen 2. Log in as "User B"
I dont want to log in as "User B". And if choose "Share screen" I have to go on Computer A again to click accept the share screen request, which defeats the purpose of logging in remotely.
Can anybody help me?
PS:
-Using screen sharing from Computer B while "adminstrator" is logged in on Computer A works just fine, but it requires me to click accept on Computer A which, again, defeats my purpose
-Logging in as "User B" works. But I want to use a lot of the software set up on "administrator", plus I want to be able to control the music playback on Computer A via Computer B, which strangely did not work when i was logged in as "User B".
