Get PublishProfile for an Azure WebApp using Powershell

Question

How can we get the PublishProfile for an Azure WebApp using Powershell? I'm not looking for Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile cmdlet. That gives me the PublishSettings for the whole subscription. I want the PublishSettings only for that particular Azure WebApp.

We can get this file when we click the following link on Azure Portal.

The content of the file is something like shown below.

Can someone please help me get this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Actually, we have a new PowerShell command:

Get-AzureRMWebAppPublishingProfile -ResourceGroupName myRG -Name webAppName

That will give you the PublishProfile in a single command!

You can get the publishing credentials for your site using the ResourceManager cmdlets as follows:

# List publishingcredentials
$resource = Invoke-AzureRmResourceAction -ResourceGroupName <Resource Group Name> -ResourceType Microsoft.Web/sites/config -ResourceName <Site Name>/publishingcredentials -Action list -ApiVersion 2015-08-01 -Force
$resource.Properties

This returns a JSON blob with the same information as the publish profile:

{
  "id": "/subscriptions/subid/resourceGroups/rgname/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/sitename/publishingcredentials/$sitename",
  "name": "sitename",
  "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/publishingcredentials",
  "location": "West US",
  "tags": {
    "hidden-related:/subscriptions/subid/resourcegroups/adriang-test/providers/Microsoft.Web/serverfarms/serverfarmname": "empty"
  },
  "properties": {
    "name": null,
    "publishingUserName": "$sitename",
    "publishingPassword": "password",
    "metadata": null,
    "isDeleted": false,
    "scmUri": "https://$sitename:[email protected]"
  }
}

Also, to fetch the publishing profile specific to a deployment slot , we could use

Get-AzureRMWebAppSlotPublishingProfile -ResourceGroupName Default-Web-EastUS -Name propertiesdemo -OutputFile none -Slot dev
