Vagrant under windows reports an error, always prompting Warning: Authentication failure. Retrying…, and there is no shared folder after running, depressed…
Find information online, visit forums, and finally have a solution, at least it works, post it and share it.
No nonsense, here is the error code and solution:
Local environment win7, vagrant version 1.8.5, virtualbox version 5.0.4
vagrant box add centos71 vagrant-centos-7.1.box
vagrant init centos71

Please verify everything is configured 32 properly and try again. 33 34 If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it, 35 it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the 36 GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve 37 For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run `vagrant up` while the 38 VirtualBox GUI is open. 39 40 The primary issue for this error is that the provider you're using 41 is not properly configured. This is very rarely a Vagrant issue.

27 # Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port

30 # config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

51 # config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
52 # # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
53 # vb.gui = true
54 #
55 # # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:

Two lines of code are added to the Vagrantfile configuration file, using clear text username and password
config.ssh.username = “vagrant”
config.ssh.password = “vagrant”
save
vagrant reload
done!
Well done and Good Luck!
