Show the answer and explanation
✓ Correct answers
- The correct authorized-key file has appropriate permissions and the matching public key
- The client validates the expected server host key
Expected host-key validation establishes server trust, and the correct account's key file with appropriate ACLs supports key authentication. WinRM TrustedHosts is separate; a different user's file does not authorize the intended user. Administrative accounts still need the correct configured key location and permissions.
