title: Enabling SSL for ASP.NET 5 project in Visual Studio 2015 Community RTM
body: <p>Most tutorials suggest that you can enable SSL for the website by going to properties of the project and then ticking the "Enable SSL" checkbox. However for my ASP.NET 5 projects in Visual Studio 2015 Community (Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL) this option doesn't exist (see the screenshot <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LqAG1.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/LqAG1.png" alt="visual studio properties for asp.net 5 project"></a>).</p>
  
  <p>I was able to workaround it by manually adding https protocol binding in applicationhost.config (following pre-RTM instruction in <a href="https://github.com/AzureADSamples/WebApp-OpenIdConnect-AspNet5" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/AzureADSamples/WebApp-OpenIdConnect-AspNet5</a>), but I found out that Visual Studio is overwriting this file from time to time, which forces me to do the manual edit over and over again.</p>
  
  <p>When I create a new Web application project, the "Enable SSL" is available only when I use ASP.NET 4.5 templates, but not when I use ASP.NET 5 Preview templates. Is there a way to configure this option for ASP.NET 5 projects in a way that persists?</p>
