Cloud service - Uploading package files results in certificate error

Question

Hi,
I want to upload a Cloud Service (Visual Studio 2013) to Azure but get the error "The certificate
with the thumbprint 4bbc8b9188d0e321198a9069b8a0a1c06709e6cb was not found." (in German "Das Zertifikat mit dem Fingerabdruck 4bbc8b9188d0e321198a9069b8a0a1c06709e6cb wurde nicht gefunden").
What I have done:
Created a valid Azure subscription (successful)
On the Azure Portal created a Cloud Service (successful)
In Visual Studio created a new Project of type "Windows Azure Cloud Service" > "WCF Service Web Role" (successful)
Hint: I didn't change the predefined settings (HTTP endpoint) and I didn't change any config file!
In Visual Studio built the solution (successful)
In Visual Studio created the package files (successful)
On the Azure Portal started to upload the package files which I have generated  before (not successful!!!)
--> The upload terminates with the error message mentioned above.
Do I need a certification though it's a HTTP endpoint?
Where does the thumbprint (4bbc8b9188d0e321198a9069b8a0a1c06709e6cb) in the error message comes from? It seems that Azure needs a certificate with exactly this thumbprint. But why?
Can anybody help me?

hi Sir,
Did you try to logon in using your azure account or imported your Azure subscription in VS? I am afraid your package lack the windows azure tools certificate. So you could try those methods:

Also, you could try to select "publish" method to deploy your project to Azure.
Please try it.

Will
