Help setting up public key authentication for windows 10 beta openssh server and client

I have a openssh server and client set up through the beta features on windows 10, and I trying to setup public key authentication for them. But I can't seem to get this to work as it continues to ask for a password, did anyone successfully set this up?

-------------------

If you were wondering, this is what tried.

-client

-server

created a txt file called authorized_keys, and copied the contents of id_ed25519.pub into it.

Code:

But both ssh user1@serverip or ssh -i C:\Users\user1\.ssh\id_ed25519 user1@serverip still
 asks for a password.--------------Thanks for any help

 

Logging into Windows 10 OpenSSH server with Administrator account and public key

I am unable to log into a Windows 10 OpenSSH Server from a CentOS OpenSSH client via public key. My password is always requested (and is accepted).

I've found many posts about setting the permissions properly on the server side for:

• Directory C:\Users\username\.ssh
  
• File C:\Users\username\.ssh\authorized_keys
  

I believe I've done everything required in terms of permissions. But to rule a permissions problem out, I set StrictModes=no on the server as a test and restarted the server. I found that I still must enter my password.

What else might be preventing me from logging in via public key?
