    umbracoDbDSN - encrypted connection string

    Hi,

    Is it possible to use an encrypted connection string for Umbraco on the umbracoDbDSN appSettings key ?

    I'm afraid that's not possible without hacking the core. Besides, why would you use an encryped conn string. It resides in the web.config which can never be served to the client

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    You've confirmed my suspicions that it would involve changes to the core, just needed to check that I hadn't missed anything.

    I don't particularly want to encrypt it, it's just an over zealous client I'm currently dealing with. I'll have to convince them there's no need to encrypt.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Well, you could also use the integrated mode to connect to the DB.

    This way you cant see the password in the web.config if that was what worried you :-)
