OpenSSH Internals for PowerShell Pros
summary
OpenSSH is shown end-to-end for PowerShell users: architecture and where host keys and session keys live, authentication methods (Kerberos, public key authentication, GSSAPI), and concrete commands—ssh-keygen, ssh -v, ssh -i—to generate keys, debug which auth method runs, and force a specific key. Demos build authorized_keys on Linux and Windows, explain strict modes and permissions, use AllowGroups in sshd_config, and demonstrate privilege separation so restarting sshd does not drop existing sessions.
