Getting thereUse the Public Key pane to configure user authentication using public keys.
Note: Items on this pane can be configured globally or as part of a subconfiguration.
Public key authentication
|
Allow/Require/Deny |
Allow is the default. |
Public key storage
|
User key directory |
Specifies the directory used for storing user public keys on the server. You can specify any physical directory, or use one of the following pattern strings to specify user-specific directories. For details see Pattern Strings in Directory Paths. |

|
|
%D |
The user's User profile folder. |
|||
|
|
%H |
The user's Home folder. |
|||
|
|
%u |
The user's login name. |
|||
|
|
%U |
The user's domain name and login in the format domain.username. |

Note: Do not use %u or %U to point to a location within a user's Windows profile folder. Neither of these options works correctly for this purpose. Use these options to create your own user-specific locations in some other location, for example on a shared network file server. For details, see Pattern Strings in Directory Paths. |
