To install openSSH using a domain account start the installation by "openssh.exe /domain=domainname" it will then allow you to specify a domain username / password.

The default username is "Administrator". I added then the password of the Windows user "Administrator". If I click to "next" to continue, I get the error "The supplied password is not valid" (please refer to the attached screenshot). I tried to enter the password several times again - always with the same result. I am sure that I entered the correct password. But the OpenSSH setup seems to not accept my administrator password. <BR />What can I do in order to install OpenSSH properly? <BR /><BR />Thank you!<BR /><BR />Kind Regards,<BR />Matthias Sun, 27 Feb 2005 05:23:15 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/openssh-install-problem/m-p/4888243#M45011 Matthias Haenggi 2005-02-27T05:23:15Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/openssh-install-problem/m-p/4888244#M45012 Does this system happento be a domain controller?

We could not get the password to be accepted unless the user entered into the SSH installation was the same as the currently logged on user.
