    Encrypting the Umbraco Connection String - SQL Authentication

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 8

    I have been asked it is possible to encrypt the Umbraco connection string? The current project has to use SQL Authentication. Any thoughts? Any pointers or help would be most welcome

    I gues that largely depends how Umbraco retreives the connection string, if it using standard .Net methods to do that then you can encrypt the connection strings section using aspnet_regiis.exe

    encrypt connection string

    Thanks for coming back to me, is it possible to do it via code OR part of ci/cd (azure dev ops) rather than command window?

    not sure as I think it has to be done on the server it is deployed on, but I will ask our devOps guy tomorrow for you

    it would not be possible to do as part of devops build etc, however you may be able to do it in code by creating an encryption provider.

    Have a read of this Encrypting web.config sections
