After a lot of struggling with trying to get sshd work with regular
domain accounts I found an alternative bit of software I then installed
for a test. After a failed test, looking thrugh the logs of that ssh
server I found an interesting piece of information possibly explaining
why it wouldn't work with my initial setup. It turned up that all the
domain accounts I used for testing have a requirement associated with
the account AD object to use smart cards for logon pourposes. I never
seen this mentioned in cygwin sshd logs as a reason for failed
connection but only a statement that the logon name or password was
incorrect. I don't suppose there is a workaround but maybe something
worth implementing in sshd logs to cover this sort of scenerios as
likely no one was expecting this to be causing access problems.
