What is MSDeploy.MSDeployProviderOptions in archive.xml?


Artifacts published by my Azure DevOps pipeline contains an archive.xml file. This contains a XML attribute called MSDeploy.MSDeployProviderOptions with a cryptic value. Is there a way to decode the value to a readable format? I want to know what information it contains and make sure that it is not sensitive from a security perspective.


Solution

  • MSDeploy.MSDeployProviderOptions is only the encoded version of the parameters provided to the provider at the time of packaging, such as -source:dirPath=c:\,ignoreErrors=0x10293847 -dest:package=package.zip will pack the ignoreErrors value.
