Answer 1

you need to rebuild / reinstall the configuration file using the remote access option and the correct certificate. If you manually inserted an encrypted password, you will most likely have a missing or additional character in the username or password field.

The error is very clear - the configuration file cannot be analyzed because the password cannot be decrypted.

Use the Visual Studio Package Wizard. Right-click the cloud project -> Package:

Then click on "Settings":

Select a certificate, enter your username, password, and expiration date. This will set the appropriate value in your ServiceConfiguration file.

Answer 2

My experience, Only if this happens to someone else:

1) The account has expired, so I went to Azure and changed the expiration date (CloudSvc / Remote Desktop)

2) Work with an error sent in this thread stopped.

3) In my case, the problem was that the Azure certificate for Remote Desktop expired, so you get a new one with the same CN name.

4) So, when I changed the expiration date of the account, she used the old certificate.

5) the reason why it took me a while to find out is that Combo has the same name twice to select a certificate:

6) when I switched to the second element with the same name, it started to work.
