Publishing from Visual Studio 2015 - allow untrusted certificates

Question

I am publishing my ASP.NET 5 MVC6 project from Visual Studio 2015. I have imported publish profile from my server. Connection validates successfully, however when I publish

Answer 1

I had True but it was still failing with the cert error.

• I re-entered my password in the settings dialog and it still failed
• Once I clicked on Validate Connection it started working.

Note

• VS 2017 (15.2)
• My password recently changed
• As a test, entered the wrong password and I got the cert error so the cert error is not just about an untrusted cert apparently
