Setup key-based authentication

Generating an SSH Key

ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa

Deploying the public key

Standard user

If ssh host is standard user place your Public Key in ~\.ssh\authorized_keys You can also do this with a command :

scp C:\Users\username\.ssh\id_rsa.pub user1@domain1:C:\Users\username\.ssh\authorized_keys

Administrative user

The contents of your public key ~\.ssh\id_rsa.pub) needs to be placed on the server into a text file called administrators_authorized_keys in C:\ProgramData\ssh\. The ACL on this file needs to be configured to only allow access to administrators and System.

Add line to C:\ProgramData\ssh\sshd_config :

Match Group administratorzy
  AuthorizedKeysFile __PROGRAMDATA__/ssh/administrators_authorized_keys

Place your Public Key into C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys. Then setup permissions.

icacls.exe "C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys" /inheritance:r /grant "Administratorzy:F" /grant "SYSTEM:F"
Restart-Service *sshd*
