I have two VMs , one in Centos and one in Windows, I should SSH connect from Centos VM to Windows VM. I have no issue to SSH connect with password. But I have to definitely use publickey to connect without password.
I have been working on this issue for 7 days , still no success :(((
My private key in Centos VM is located in
/Home/qriteria/.ssh/id_rsa
AND My publickey in Windows VM is located in /C/Users/qriteria/.ssh/authorized_keys
I have OPENSSH server running on Windows VM, and have editted /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthorizedKeysFile /C/Users/qriteria/.ssh/authorized_keys
When I try to SSH connect to the Windows VM, I receive
OpenSSH_7.4p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017

/home/qriteria/.ssh/id_rsato the server and the server didn't accept it. There are half a dozen reasons why this could happen. Your best bet would be to find the logs produced by the SSH server process and see if it's logging why it won't accept the key.
