[SSH tips] Scripts to authorize a machine to connect don't work for administrators on Windows OpenSSH host

[pawelszramowski]

Scripts here and here add the public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the host. However, the path used if the user belongs to administrator group is different for the Windows OpenSSH server that you recommend.

With the default file modified instead, ssh kept asking for password. This fallback is confusing, so it should also be recommended to have the client exclusively use the just-generated identity by adding the following to ~/.ssh/config:

  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
  IdentitiesOnly yes
