When I 'publish' my solution to azure from visual studio, the instances are created and assigned a certificate from the local cert store "Windows Azure Tools Certificate". However when I package the solution and upload manually via the portal, the deployment fails complaining that there is no corresponding certificate with the specified thumbprint.
I need to provide a 'proof of concept' deployment package to a vendor for them to install on their local azure environment for testing, but I'm not sure how to approach the certificate issue.
- Is there a way to include the certificate in the deployment package package?
- When did the "Azure Tools Certificate" in my local certificate store get created?
- What is the best approach to providing a deployment package to a third party to ensure the valid certificates are in place?
