.Net Core Project中vs2017缺少web.config

Question

I just noticed that whenever we create a new project, web.config file is not added to the project anymore.

According to this link , we can use appsettings.json as the replacement of web.config . And I am already using it to store some settings and using in my app.

However, I don't know how to generate forwardWindowsAuthToken="true" in the web.config file while doing the publishing. We are using WindowsAuthentication for the website and it's not appended on the generated web.config file.

I tried to add that setting in the appsettings.json like the following and it's not still appending. I need to manually edit the web.config file on the webserver.

{
  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "forwardWindowsAuthToken" :  true
}

It works when I added web.config file in my project and add forwardWindowsAuthToken="true" in the code.

Since appsettings.json is replacing web.config file, I am not sure whether my approach is correct or not. Am I doing right or is there a way to add that code in the generated web.config file automatically?

We have web.config with required configuration in VS2017 .NET Core project, and during publish dotnet would replace processPath and arguments attributes automatically. This did the trick in our deployment process.
