Hi Elena,
I have setup three windows 2008 r2 systems with ssh (client and
server) using cygwin.
I use ssh-host-config to configure sshd on each host.
And then I use ssh-keygen to setup the key for each systems and then
copy id_rsa.pub into each other authorized_keys and authorized_keys2.
I could able to make all those three systems to ssh without using
password within each other both way.
By the way, I only use the open ssh and the openssl that comes with
cygwin which I installed.
Thanks,
Homer Yau
