![]() A private key is stored on a client side (do not share it with anyone), and a public key is added to the authorized_keys file on the SSH server. You must generate two RSA keys (public and private ones) on a client computer you will use to connect to the remote Windows server that is running OpenSSH. The idea is that the client’s public key is added on the SSH server, and when a client tries to connect to it, the server checks if the client has the corresponding private key. SSH key-based authentication is widely used in the Linux world, but in Windows it has appeared more recently. I’ll show how to generate RSA keys (certificates) on Windows and configure a built-in OpenSSH server on Windows 10/Windows Server 2019 for key-based authentication (allows you to authenticate on remote hosts without passwords). ![]() ![]() In this post I will configure SSH authentication with RSA keys on Windows to securely access remote servers/computers.
