Resolving SSH Key Loading Issues on Windows
While SSH is commonly associated with Linux and Unix systems, it can also be configured on Windows. This guide focuses on resolving SSH key loading issues specifically for Windows environments.
Understanding the Challenge
Similar to Linux/Unix, the default SSH configuration on Windows might only load keys authorized by administrators, typically stored in a location like %ProgramData%\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys
. This restricts user access unless they are explicitly added to the administrator-authorized keys.
