SSH to a Windows host with Cygwin, public key auth fails but password works

When trying to SSH into a fresh install of Cygwin SSHD on a box I found that setting up public-key auth wasn't working for this host. I used the same install script that I do for all of my Cygwin SSHD hosts, so something was awry.

[jrdalrymple@localhost ~]$ ssh -v jrdalrymple@REMOTEHOST
OpenSSH_6.6.1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013

[jrdalrymple@localhost ~]$ ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no jrdalrymple@REMOTEHOST
jrdalrymple@REMOTEHOST's password:
Last login: Sat Jun  6 19:28:20 2015 from localhost

jrdalrymple@REMOTEHOST ~

The big difference here is that this host is a Windows Domain Controller, so it can't have local users. I suspect that's what has me hosed, although I never truly confirmed that.
