On Win7, I created a file c:\users\user_name_here\.ssh\authorized_keys, but it did not do anything. RDi still gives the same SSH error and ACS "SSH Terminal" still prompts me for my password.

Thanks

Hello Justin,

Step 7 says to put the public key "into the appropriate location on the remote side". How do I know where that is? If it matters, the clients will be Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16, both running RDi and SSH.

Normally this goes to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. (Tilde = Home of the current user, aka, the one which will connect to the machine.)

Public Keys are always just one long line of printable characters and in authorized_keys can be multiple lines to allow multiple peers to connect.
