Deploying with msbuild authentication problems

Question

I have a simple application which processes messages in an Azure Queue.

    public static void ProcessQueueMessage([QueueTrigger("myqueue")] string message, TextWriter log)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("QGot: " + message);

        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: Completed: {1}", DateTime.Now, message));

    }

I would like to deploy this application multiple times to the same WebApp. I've been following the steps here to try and deploy the console app as a WebJob.

I added the following webjobs.props to my console app project and tried to deploy with msbuild but am having some authentication problems:

  <!--
  <ManagementCertificate>MII...o=</ManagementCertificate>
      <SubscriptionId>e0...af</SubscriptionId> 
  -->
  <PublishSettingsPath>C:\Users\m\Downloads\VisualStudioPremiumwithMSDN-5-3-2016-credentials.publishsettings</PublishSettingsPath>
  <SubscriptionId>e0...af</SubscriptionId>

  </PropertyGroup>
</Target>

msbuild command:

C:\Users\m\Projects\ConsoleApp>msbuild ConsoleApp.csproj /p:PublishProfile="MultipleWebJobTestApp - Web Deploy" /p:DeployOnBuild=true

Error:

MSDeployPublish:
  Start Web Deploy Publish the Application/package to https://multiplewebjobtestapp.scm.azurewebsites.net/msdeploy.axd?site=MultipleWebJobTestApp ...

I assume you didn't edit the PublishSettings file. Can you publish via the right click Publish option in VS using this publish settings file? Have you tried redownloading the publish settings file? — chief7

For anyone interested, I faced the same problem and found a solution.

The issue was that I was publishing from Visual Studio with a custom Publish Profile, instead of importing the Publish Profile from Azure.

By importing the Publish Profile from Azure, and plugging in the password in that document into /p:Password:, I was able to fix it

That was my problem, thank you! For context, you can download the publish profile in you azure app "configuration page > deployment center > Manage publish profile"
