I have created VM with authentication set to SSH public key. I set up ssh public key while creating process. There was a form input for the key. VM has been successfully created. But as I tried to connect via MoboXTerm to VM I get an error: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) What it means not supported method? Now I am not able to connect to VM and I dont see any option to do it in Azure administration. What can I do or what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Vladimír Čamaj ,

    Best approach is to have the Keys Ready (Private and Public).
    Use PuttyGen (https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html) to create a key pair.

    Public Key can be used while creating the VM and Private key to be loaded in MoboXTerm.
