Login to raspberry pi running Windows IoT Core through public key authentication instead of password

321 views Asked by At

I am currently using a Raspberry Pi3 running Windows Core IoT, and I can successfully log in using PuTTY as an SSH client, but it asks for a password. I was wondering if there is a way to use an RSA public key file for authentication instead of the password. I know this can be done in linux with the authorized_keys file in the .ssh folder and changing the configuration file to allow such login method... Is there an equivalent procedure for Widnows Core IoT?

While I haven't been able to find anything about using keys, you could consider using KiTTY, a PuTTY fork.

Before I switched to linux full time, I used KiTTY, because it's much more configurable, and also allows stored plaintext passwords. It's much better than PuTTY, in my opinion.
