Web Deploy Failure: User Unauthorized

I am using Visual Studio 2015 Community edition on my local machine. This issue occurs when I Build>Publish with the credentials I get pulled off of my Windows Server 2012 R2 which runs Parallel Plesk 12.5. I exported the web deploy settings from Plesk. So all the credentials entered should be correct.

When I click the publish button I get the following error in this image:

error message img

How do I correct this error? I feel like there has to be something misconfigured on my server to be causing this issue.

Update:In the publish menu I have been able to validate the connection where the green checkmark pops up now. In IIS, I added my user to the site I was having trouble with. I still get the same error in the image tho when I actually click publish. Any other ideas? I am guessing i need to change a thing or two in IIS to fully correct the problem.

Update 2: This update is in reference to the post left by @Jan Remunda below. I have gone through the checklist. Here are my results:

*I went in to the Roles and Features Wizard and confirmed that Management Service is installed. *I followed the link and installed the entire package of feature for Web Deploy. *In IIS Manager, I went to my site, gamepaduniverse.com, and added the user. Restarted computer.

I have been able to published several times before, however one day I encountered this error when using Web Deploy to an Azure Website using an imported publish profile.

On the prompt it's saying I was connected but not authorized (#ERROR_USER_UNAUTHORIZED) I had the correct username and password (from my publish profile) as confirmed when I clicked on "Validate Connection"

What worked for me was put in the password string and publish/preview it directly instead of click on validate connection. Hope this helps

for right behavior of this feature you have to do few steps

  • install Web Deploy IIS extension (http://www.microsoft.com/cs-cz/download/details.aspx?id=43717) and install entire IIS Deployment handler feature and IIS Manager UI Module (see bellow)
  • install web server management service and ensure that is running (set automatic start on services panel).
  • set manager permissions to user that are you using for deployment in Site > IIS Manager permissions
  • either set this user as local administrator or setup rights to deploy in Management Service Delegation on server

  • if you want to use NTLM authentication instead of basic you must add some config to registers and restart management service

    reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server /v WindowsAuthenticationEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1

IIS Management service installation IIS Management service installation

Web Deploy installation Web deploy installation
