Have a older MacPro on Mojave that will fully boot and automatically log in with a monitor plugged in, but will Not automatically log in if a monitor is Not plugged in, and presents with a password to log in before completely booting into MacOS.

Is that standard operation if a monitor is not detected? If I plug a monitor in and reboot, is logs in automatically with no issue...


Is there a way to get around that type of operation?


Can I "trick" the macpro into thinking there is a monitor in some way if there is not a basic setting that can be changed?

The machine is currently used for housing large bulk files that can not natively fit internally on a Mac Studio.

Any good ways to get around that detail without a monitor physically plugged into the machine to allow it to power on/off, boot and automatically login on schedule headless?
