To publish an application from Visual Studio, you only need to have the cluster security certificate added to Cert:\Current User\My store
or Cert:\Local Machine\My store
. Visual Studio automatically adds the following configuration to the published profile of your application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <PublishProfile xmlns =" http:// schemas.microsoft.com/ 2015/ 05/ fabrictools" > <ClusterConnectionParameters ConnectionEndpoint ="[your cluster dns name]:19000" X509Credential =" true" ServerCertThumbprint =" [cluster certificate thumbprint]" FindType =" FindByThumbprint" FindValue =" [cluster certificate thumbprint]" StoreLocation =" CurrentUser" StoreName =" My" /> <ApplicationParameterFile Path ="..\ ApplicationParameters\ Cloud.xml" /> </PublishProfile >
