MSDeploy.exe can connect as Administrator, but not any other Windows account

Question

I\'m integrating MSDeploy into my build process, and having problems authenticating. The following command works fine:

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:appHostConfig         


        

Answer 1

Figured It Out!

So, it seems that (at least by default), WMSVC only listens on HTTPS, and HTTP will just time out. However, since my certificate was self-signed, I had to use the -allowUntrusted command line option.

That was almost enough. I also had to specify authType=Basic like Richard originally suggested. So, to put it all together, this is the MSDeploy command line that will actually work:

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:appHostConfig="Default Web Site",computerName=https://192.168.0.3:8172/msdeploy.axd,authType=Basic,userName=Publish,password=secret -dest:package=c:\DeployTest\KPC.zip -allowUntrusted
