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?

If you want to use it for maintenance, just create a user and `passwd -R` it. Then you can use SSH key to login as that user. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Tuesday, August 11, 2020 1:37:01 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
