Some more progress:
This is working for any account on which the services is started with. That is if we give credentials of a particular account in Log On tab of a service. Then it works for that account and so on. This is the same case with Windows Remote Management. But everything works fine over RDP.
Some progress
I have installed SSHD service with a user with admin privileges cyg_server. When I login over ssh to this account. Credential manager is working fine. But when I login with other users, it wouldn't.
Original Question
I also observed any programs saving keys to windows credential manager are giving me A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated. error. (Only when running via ssh)
Although there are some pointers towards the issue on the internet. I was not able to exactly find the root issue.
Edit: Additional Information
The program that I wrote is ultimately calling CredWriteW function from win api.
Could you help?

I'm using password based authentication. Are you referring to client? My target machine is Windows, client is Ubuntu. In /home/user/.ssh of Cygwin there are no files. I copied the files from C:\Users.... Let me see what happens. – pinkpanther – 2017-11-20T17:37:49.100
I tried this, it's not working. May be I'm getting the "Specified logon session doesn't exist..." because it's a network authentication via ssh? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa375187(v=vs.85).aspx But I'm not sure how to make Cygwin act as a non network user.
