Authentication failed

Hi, I'm trying to troubleshoot upgrading Big Sur and Monterey to Sonoma, and I'm encountering issues which are most likely related to authentication.

For example, I have an Intel device, and it doesn't accept the user's credentials (non admin, not sure if admin permissions are required.
I tried creating a service account, have the config profile in place and ran the command to create it and the plist mentions AuthServiceAccount =1. However, when I try to execute the workflow through remote shell I'm being asked for password...

This is what msu-workflow log states: Image

If you have an intel computer, it shouldn't be asking for a password. Asking for credentials is something unique to apple silicon devices. That includes all of the other apple silicon authentication methods like the service account you mentioned. Because it's an intel, the script will skip over all of those settings. I wonder if there's something else going on. Could you give more details or screenshots about the environment and how it's asking for a password?

This is an issue with Apple breaking the softwareupdate download function. I'm working on a solution in super v5.1, but it requires a significant reachitecting of the internals of the super workflow.
