Trying to run .net core api which uses swagger from local IIS - iis

Question

I created a .Net core web api application and using swagger .I am trying to create a profile for the application to run it on IIS while run the application from visual studio 2019.
Application folder has full permissions and the app pool /website, both are running under service account which has full admin rights.
I am trying to configure the application to use https to run on a specific port 443.Not sure if i have to make any code changes so that application runs on specific port
If i try to run the application using IIS express with the url https://localhost:portnumber/TestApi/swagger.It works beautifully
If i try to use the profile that is configured for IIS to run the application with the url "https://localhost/TestApi/swagger, then its throwing the error.
Below is my web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="bin\IISSupport\VSIISExeLauncher.exe" arguments="-argFile IISExeLauncherArgs.txt" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false">
<environmentVariables>
<environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_HTTPS_PORT" value="44342" />
<environmentVariable name="COMPLUS_ForceENC" value="1" />
<environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Development" />
</environmentVariables>
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I have my start up.cs file as follows
public class Startup
{
public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
{
//Configuration = configuration;
var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
.AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
.AddEnvironmentVariables();
Configuration = builder.Build();
ConfigSettingLayoutRenderer.DefaultConfiguration = Configuration;
}
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddSingleton<IConfiguration>(Configuration);
services.Configure<IISOptions>(options =>
{
options.AutomaticAuthentication = false;
});
services.AddSwaggerGen(c => c.SwaggerDoc("v1",
new Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Swagger.Info()
{
Title = "Test APIs",
Description = "REST APIs",
Version = "v1"
})
);
services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_2);
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env,ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseMvc();
app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
string swaggerJsonBasePath = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(c.RoutePrefix) ? "." : "..";
c.SwaggerEndpoint($"{swaggerJsonBasePath}/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "My API");
});
app.Run(async (context) =>
{
context.Response.Redirect("TestApi/swagger");
await Task.FromResult(0);
});
}
}
and my launchsettings.json as below
{
"iisSettings": {
"windowsAuthentication": false,
"anonymousAuthentication": true,
"iis": {
"applicationUrl": "https://localhost/TestApi",
"sslPort": 0
},
"iisExpress": {
"applicationUrl": "http://localhost:57086/",
"sslPort": 0
}
},
"profiles": {
"IIS Express": {
"commandName": "IISExpress",
"launchBrowser": true,
"environmentVariables": {
"ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
}
},
"PmDashBoard.Api": {
"commandName": "IIS",
"launchBrowser": true,
"launchUrl": "https://localhost/TestApi",
"environmentVariables": {
"ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
},
"applicationUrl": "https://localhost/TestApi"
}
}
}
I have .Net core hosting bundle is installed on my machine and latest version of VS2019 installed. I am trying Ctrl + F5 to run the application from VS2019 and getting the below error
