    Could encryption be done for database password alone in we.config file

    Hi,

    I have a website which has reference to a service layer through which it calls the procedures.I have a web.config file in my service layer.I want to know is that possible to encrypt the database password alone in connection string.if so how it could be done using Enterprise library 5.0.And whether encrypted password should be decrypted before procedure call or it would automatically take decypted value for procedure call.

    Thanks in advance,
    Blacky

    I don't think so.

    There are IIS tools that will encrypt the whole connection strings section of the web.config file but not just the passwords.
