Go to your server node (not website) and you should have a Server Certificates thing to go into.

Visual Studio 2017 Web Deploy Fails

When trying to deploy a .net core web app I get this error below. My hosting company told me they downloaded VS 2017 and successfully deployed using the same publishing profile. The only difference I could determine was that they saw a certificate warning and were able to accepted the untrusted certificate. The domain does has an SSL cert setup via LetsEncrypt. I did try to deploy before setting it up. Maybe it being missing is cached in the app?
The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
ERROR_CERTIFICATE_VALIDATION_FAILED
Even though your website may have the LetsEncrypt certificate installed, you also need to have a valid certificate installed on the IIS Management Service for Web Deploy to work.
You can set your publish profile to AllowUntrustedCertificate to true to ignore the issue:
SO: allow untrusted certificates
If you do want to use your LetsEncrypt cert, this is how I got it to work (instructions may vary based on your IIS version):
Open MMC (Windows button + X -> Run -> type MMC and press enter
From the MMC menu bar select File -> Add or Remove Snap-ins
Select Certificates then click on Add >
Select Computer Account, Click Next
Select Local Computer, Click Finish and then OK
Expand the Certificate tree to Web Hosting -> Certificates
You will now see your list of LetsEncrypt certificates installed on your server, right click on the one you want to use for web deploy and select Copy
In the Certificate tree of MMC now expand Personal -> Certificates and right click and select Paste
Open IIS Management, click on the server node and open Management Service under management:
Click on Stop in the actions pane on the right to enable changes to be made to the service
Using the drop down under SSL Certificate you should now see your LetsEncrypt certificate you pasted in step 8, select it.
Click on Apply in the actions pane on the right and then click on Start
To test the certificate is now working open your web browser and navigate to https:yourdomainname:8172/msdeploy.axd
Instead of an SSL error you should now be asked to provide credentials to log on. Cancel the logon and go ahead and try publishing using Web Deploy.

Implementing SSL certificate in asp.net web site

I have created a .pfx file in order to certify the site.But in our website we are using links to two sites managed by third party which is not HTTPS.If this is the case and if i do certification in our website will it be effective.As a trial i have implemented pfx file in IIS, when the client machine accessed site first it will prompt with usual dialogue, and after forcefully moving in to the site, if you install it in local store, and if you clik "show all content" on the bottom of the IE, we can see all the data with HTTPS link.But no padlock in the left side of the browser, why i am not getting the padlock? if you dont have padlock and if the site is HTTPS doe that good? is there any better implementation for this scenario.One more question is if we have an HTTPS site which contain HTTP sites from third party deployed in different server, does that work properly with SSL?

How can I host a sub domain

Hello I have a website hosted on remote desktop. ("mywebsite.com")
I want to host another web app with domain "app.mywebsite.com". I created a website in IIS but its not working. What's the configuration setting I need to do make this working ?
(I use IIS7) first app(mywebsite.com) is hosted before. I downt know anything about.
I just created an app and want to host it in same remote desktop with "app.mywebsite.com" alias.
there is an warrning seem on basic settings > Test settings pane
Error message is : "The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again."
How can I fix this ?
Thanks for help
You'll need to add a binding:
Open IIS Manager.
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree, and then click to select the site for which you want to add a binding.
In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
In the Add Site Binding dialog box, add the binding information and then click OK.

IIS 7 Disabling "Require SSL"

Deployed an ASP.NET application to our internal production server as a virtual directory under the default web site. I had been getting 403 errors when trying to connect to it. So I verified the folder permissions and when I went to look at the IIS (7) SSL settings I saw that "Require SSL", "Require 128-bit SSL" and require client certificates have been enabled. This application does not need SSL.
The problem is that these checkboxes and radio buttons have been greyed out and I can't seem to figure out how to disable them. Also, in the upper right hand corner of the IIS manager, I see in the alerts box "The site does not have a secure binding (HTTPS) and cannot accept SSL connections.
How do I disable the SSL settings?
For anyone else having this issue, here is what I found that cleared the SSL configuration:
appcmd set config "Default Web Site" /section:access /sslFlags:None /commit:APPHOST
That was a bug in IIS Manager, the workaround is to temporarily add a binding using SSL so that the checkboxes become enabled, then uncheck them, and remove the ssl binding.
ALternatively using AppCmd, or Configuration Editor (in IIS Manager) you should be able to achieve that as well.
Just open IIS Manager, navigate to the site using the Tree view, and double click Configuration Editor, then select system.webServer/security/access in the section list. Change that value to None.
If your application has no relationship to your Default Site in IIS, you should really create your own Web Site in IIS so that you are completely isolated from the settings you would inherit from running in a virtual directory.
In the Bindings for your new site, distinguish your site from the Default Site by using a different port or alternately use a different domain name, such as a sub-domain of the domain used by the Default site (requires your internal DNS to be updated to support this new domain).

ASP.NET Development Server with Basic Authentication

Anyone aware of how to get the ASP.NET Dev Server to challenge for basic authentication credentials instead of assuming my current login?
If using Cassini then according to paragraph at bottom of this link - Limitations of the Cassini Web Server, you cant.
If using IIS, then update IIS authentication.
In IIS,
in the virtual directory of your site right click on your virtual directory,
select the Directory Security tab
select Edit button next to Anonymous access and authentication control
uncheck allow anonymous and integrated windows authentication
check basic authentication
Not an answer to your question, per se, but consider configuring your web project's properties to "Don't open a page. Wait for a request from an external application", and then hit your server with a browser that's been launched with alternative credentials.
Do you have Integrated Windows authentication checked off under Directory Security in IIS, instead of (or in addition to) Basic?
