Hi Andrey,
Thanks for the response.
Basically I have an Cloud control Agent server on LINUX host and Cloud control
would like connect to Windows hosts over an SSH protocol. So for that I have
installed CYGWIN on my client windows machine and tried to configure
ssh-host-config. It is taking default SYSTEM user ( example: if my local
account is SUBBU) and generating the profile files. Now I can user the below
command to connect to windows host over SSH using username and password that is
SYSTEM default.
ssh user1@IP
But here I want to create a separate user to authenticate from Cloud controller
to target client with ssh setup and password based authentication.
Hope I answered your question?
Subramanya
you are confusing the user that runs the sshd services (SYSTEM) with the
user that uses the sshd service and connects through ssh
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config sets the first
/usr/bin/ssh-user-config sets the second
$ cygcheck -l openssh |grep -- -config
/usr/bin/ssh-host-config
/usr/bin/ssh-user-config
