Having problems with Web Deploy with untrusted server

Hi,

I'm trying to webdeploy to our custom IIS vm in Azure.

When i connect to it -manually- (eg. in Visual Studio to check / verify my creds) i get a pop saying the SSL cert is not trusted, blah blah blah. Message is legit and correct.

I thought there was a way to tell msdeploy to accept untrusted ssl's?

eg.

Web.deploy.cmd
  /Y
  /M:https://AutoDeploy:8172/MsDeploy.axd
  -allowUntrusted
  /U:AutoDeploy\Administrator
  /P:Passw0rd
  /A:Basic

reference : Troy Hunt's blog post.

Is there a way we can do this? If not, could i manually fire off msdeploy.exe myself for a custom deploy command?

   You can call any command for sure.

   Why wouldn't you use built-in deployment provider?

   because there's no checkbox to do -allowUntrusted ... or is there?

   (the build-in MSDeploy provider works 100000% sweet with our production azure websites. but for our dev sites (ie. the developers who's forks continuously deploy to their iis website on a single azure vm) i'm stuck trying to get this to work :(

   Also - what's the command line if i have to? msdeploy.exe is the name? or web.deploy.cmd ... ?

   Built-in Web Deploy provider should allow untrusted certificates.

   msdeploy.exe - it's installed on build workers, but not in PATH

   hmmm. ok. then i must have another issue then if you're already doing that bit, for us :(

   It just hangs here...

   Uploading artifact Foo.zip (24.3 MB)...OK
   Deploying using WebDeploy provider
   Synchronizing contents of "Foo.Application.Web" artifact to website Dev-Web on server https://foo.cloudapp.net:8172/msdeploy.axd?site=Dev-Web using WebDeploy
   Info: Using ID '3dde7e44-6421-4113-afa5-ef81dbec6a38' for connections to the remote server.
   

   Hard to test this stuff :(

   Is there any chance u might be able to update the AV MSDeploy docs to list the actual msdeploy command line that is ran, just for reference please?

   The trick is that it doesn't use msdeploy.exe command line, but it uses managed Web Deploy API.

   If you manage to deploy this from command line using msdeploy.exe then you should be able to use the same settings in AV.

   Got it working in AV with UI. I'm guessing the problem was with my Web Management Service. Restarting that and it all worked.

   Sorry for wasting your time :(
