this answer written asp.net core rc1. in rc2 asp.net core moved generic httpplafrom handler aspnetcore specific one. note step 3 depends on version of asp.net core using.

turns out environment variables asp.net core projects can set without having set environment variables user or having create multiple commands entries.

1. go application in iis , choose configuration editor.
2. select configuration editor
3. choose system.webserver/aspnetcore (rc2 , rtm) or system.webserver/httpplatform (rc1) in section combobox
4. choose applicationhost.config ... in from combobox.
5. click on enviromentvariables element , open edit window.
6. set environment variables.
7. close window , click apply.
8. done

this way not have create special users pool or create commands entries in project.json. also, adding special commands each environment breaks "build once, deploy many times" have call dnu publish separately each environment, instead of publish once , deploying resulting artifact many times.

updated rc2 , rtm, mark g , tredder.
