I have added <MSDeployEnableWebConfigEncryptRule>true</MSDeployEnableWebConfigEncryptRule>
to .pubxml file in order to encrypt web config file. However, when publishing, i got the following error. I do not know whether there is extra setting needed in the web.config file other than inserting <MSDeployEnableWebConfigEncryptRule>true</MSDeployEnableWebConfigEncryptRule>
in .pubxml
Error: Web deployment task failed.(Fail to encrypt destination web.config. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_FAILED_TO_ENCRYPT_WEB_CONFIG.)
Note: #ERROR_FAILED_TO_ENCRYPT_WEB_CONFIG does not appears anywhere on the given link.
How could i resolve this error? (note: i do not wish to pre-encrypt the web.config file locally before publishing it)
