I am trying to configure a jenkins windows slave msbuild tasks on, but I am having issues with click once projects and its strongly named keys.
Depending on which account installs the PFX key, it depends on what the results and errors are.
BACKGROUND:
Projects (ProjectX and ProjectY)
- .net 4
- ClickOnce app
- uses a pfx key "ABC.pfx" to sign the assembly
Jenkins Windows Slave:
- the Jenkins windows service runs under the user account "[email protected]"
- As jenkins creates a workspace for each project and branch, we copied the "ABC.pfx" file to c:\
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION 1:
I remote desktop onto server with my user account:
- copy ABC.pfx onto the server at C:\
Run command prompt as Administrator
cd c:\ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\sn.exe" -d VS_KEY_123456789 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\sn.exe" -i ABC.pfx VS_KEY_123456789
Open normal command prompt and run (ClickOnce projects have build, then publish msbuild commands):
"C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe" "c:/jenkins/workspace/project-x/ProjectX/ProjectX.sln" "/verbosity:normal" /p:configuration="release" /p:outdir="c:/jenkins/workspace/project-x/output/ProjectX/" "/target:Clean;Build" /maxcpucount
"C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/MSBuild.exe" "c:/jenkins/workspace/project-x/ProjectX/ProjectX.sln" "/verbosity:normal" /p:configuration="release" /p:outdir="c:/jenkins/workspace/project-x/output/ProjectX/" "/target:Publish" /maxcpucount
Both of the msbuid command run fine for me
When run under the Jenkins account we get the error:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(2482,5): error MSB3326: Cannot import the following key file: ABC.pfx. The key file may be password protected. To correct this, try to import the certificate again or import the certificate manually into the current user's personal certificate store. [c:\jenkins\workspace\project-x\ProjectX\ProjectX.csproj]
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(2482,5): error MSB3321: Importing key file "ABC.pfx" was canceled. [c:\jenkins\workspace\project-x\ProjectX\ProjectX.csproj]
ATTEMPTED RESOLUTION 2:
I remote desktop onto server with the Jenkins user account
- copy ABC.pfx onto the server at C:\
Run command prompt as Administrator
cd c:\ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\sn.exe" -d VS_KEY_123456789 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\sn.exe" -i ABC.pfx VS_KEY_123456789

Jenkins user account gets the error:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(2482,5): error MSB3326: Cannot import the following key file: ABC.pfx. The key file may be password protected.

[c:\jenkins\workspace\project-x\ProjectX\ProjectX.csproj]
I also get a build error
Does anyone have any idea how to get the Jenkins user account to acknowledge the PFX key?
Thanks for any help, Sandra
