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

Yet another solution

I created publish settings on the remote IIS and imported them in Visual Studio 2017 (15.2). After that I changed the URL to specify the sitename as the IIS-user only has access to the specific site (thanks to this answer on SO). I've entered the credentials via the UI and there is no need to store the password in the profile.

My profile looks like:

MSDeploy
Release
Any CPU
https://some.site.com:443/
True
False
netcoreapp1.1
eecf975e-f2e6-440f-bfd6-a0a63c25e3c3
https://url.toourserver.com:8172/msdeploy.axd?site=some.site.com
some.site.com

True
WMSVC
True
IISUserName    
True    
<_SavePWD>True

was needed as the self signed certificate is not trusted on my machine.

With this profile a backup is made according to the settings in IIS, the site is updated and opened in my browser when the process is finished :-)

Although all the other answers here also made it work, I thought it would be nice to share this way as it involves only a few changes (AllowUntrustedCertificate) and no storage of plain passwords.
