Need information on creating service user to connect from the Agent server to Windows hosts for installing agents on remote

[Subramanya Narayanaswamy]

Hi Team,

 

I'm Trying to setup Cygwin installation on windows server 2012 and 2016. I'm installing latest Cygwin version with packages openssh,openssl,zip,unzip.

 

When I run Cygwin.bat file and try to configure SSH host service to connect from Agent server on this windows host, I don't get a prompt to create CYGWIN user at all. By default it is taking the SYSTEM default user for authentication.

 

But I want create a new Cygwin(let's say agentuser user) using the command ssh-host-config by running the Cygwin.bat file.

 

Could you please help on how to setup separate user with right SSH permission please? It would be great help.
