Using WinSSHD in a cluster

While WinSSHD does not explicitly implement cluster support, it can nevertheless be easily set up for use in a clustered environment. All you need to do is duplicate WinSSHD settings and keypair on all machines that are part of the cluster. These data are stored in the Settings and Keypair values of the HKLM\Software\Bitvise\WinSSHD registry key, which you can easily transplant from one machine to another using the 'regedit' utility. Make sure only that you install WinSSHD before importing settings into the registry: the WinSSHD registry key should be created by the WinSSHD installer, which takes care to set the key's permissions so as to protect its contents against unauthorized access. If you create the registry key yourself, you should assign proper permissions using 'regedt32'.
