Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro openssh server permission denied.

Good day Community.

I try to setup ssh tunnel which will be used to secure remote desktop session between two computers.

ssh server OS: windows 10 pro ver 19092


I installed openssh server via "add optional features."


When I ssh in I from client with cmd command ssh admin1@ip server replies first with:


The authenticity of host host's IP' can't be established.

ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:JqYEwLJJm/gR9by+aQhftpUsqbRnY06Cv/lRiC4syf4.

Are you sure you want to continue connecting yes/no? yes


but when I enter correct password, server replies with:

"permission denied, please try again" ..."publickey,password,keyboard-interactive"


I then created admin2 account on server and tried ssh in again using admin2 credentials and I was able to dialin no problem.


ps: admin1's password has ! character, I also tried to use simpler password but this did not help

:)

 

Windows 10 permissions...

How is the NAS on windows 10 Pro? Is it software or a share? Did you check ntfs vs share permissions?

 

Having trouble getting the built-in OpenSSH server to work

Goal: I'm trying to set up the Windows built-in OpenSSH server (version 0.0.1.0, as I recall that being the latest one) in order to use my desktop PC remotely should I have the need for raw performance when on the road through a Windows
10 laptop.

Problem: Despite following
the official guide to the letter, when I try to run "Start-Service sshd" in PowerShell I get this error:

Code:

    Start-Service : Service 'OpenSSH SSH Server (sshd)' cannot be started due to the following error: Palvelun sshd avaamin    en tietokoneessa . epäonnistui.    At line:1 char:1    + Start-Service sshd    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],       ServiceCommandException        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStartService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartServiceCommand

If I run the executable without "Start-Service", however, it runs and seemingly waits for connections, but according to the Services tab in Task Manager it's not actually doing anything at all, nor is there an SSH user account associated
with it.

What I've tried:

• Restarting Windows (after every installation)
• Uninstalling and re-installing both the server and the client (both from PowerShell and through the Settings application)
• Switched to local account instead of a Microsoft account (suggested on a forum thread, tried the previous steps again)
• Using an elevated PowerShell instance with admin rights

System information:

• Windows 10 Home, version 1809, build 17763.379
• Hardware configuration:
  • CPU: i9-9900k @ 4.9GHz
  • RAM: 32GB 3200MHz DDR4
  • GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080
  • Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z390-A, BIOS version 0805

Let me know if other information is required.
