When you created the image under the compute resource in Foreman's UI,
you need to specify a username and password that can be used to log into
the image. Edit this by going to Infra > Compute resources > your

Ensure you pre-create this username + password on the template and
ensure that Foreman has connectivity to the VM after creation.
As a side note, please don't cross-post to dev and users, this is a
users list question really. (And only post once!)

Thanks Dominic for the response. I will give this a try now.
Sorry I wasn't sure if this was issue that would require dev attention
(given VMWare Template provisioning is a new feature in Foreman) and there
was some browser issue causing multiple post. Will certainly not re-post
the same issue
