What happens on first login?

Not really sure how to phrase this but here is whats going on... I am trying to setup Forescout agentless which requires a local account to be created with admin rights. From there I am creating a .ssh folder in /Users/forescout/, generating a ssh key, creating an authorized keys folder /Users/forescout/.ssh/authorized_keys and setting that folders permissions to 660. At this point we run a command on the Forescout console and in theory the machine should start checking in. For whatever reason the machine will not check in until the account is logged in once locally. What happens differently from a SSH login vs a local login?

Hello,

We're looking to implement something similar and I am wondering if you've been successful with the above setup and if you'd be will to share some of that knowledge.
Look forward to hearing back.
Thanks
