Win32-OpenSSH - How to setup the AuthorizedKeys in the Windows User.

[MaximoTrinidad]

Please answer the following

"OpenSSH for Windows" version
0.0.11.0

OS details
Windows 10 Pro

What is failing
No AuthorizationKeys found! When executing script in Breaking Change note;
$authorizedKeyPath = "C:\Users\mtrinidad.ssh\authorized_keys"
$acl = get-acl $authorizedKeyPath
$ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule("NT Service\sshd", "Read", "Allow")
$acl.SetAccessRule($ar)
Set-Acl $authorizedKeyPath $acl

Expected output
No errors!

Actual output
PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0-alpha.18> $acl = get-acl $authorizedKeyPath
get-acl : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\mtrinidad.ssh\authorized_keys' because it does not exist.

Additional Notes
Can't find any documentation on how to create the "authorized_keys".

authorized_keys is used as part of key based authentication

See https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/wiki/ssh.exe-examples

Thanks for the explanation. Also, I realized that the "authorized_keys" was a folder name and not a file.

So, after creating the folder, then I was able to run the PowerShell script.
