Junk Characters returning to package from SQL Server Package Configuration

Hello All,

I was very excited to see that the Package Configurations can help me maintain a clean DEV to PROD development and testing process but I haven't been able to get it to work.

My current issue is that after exporting the package connection string to SQL and then reloading the package I'm getting the following:

In Server Name, User Name and sometimes Database I'm getting stuff that looks like this '㜱⸲㜱ㄮ㘷㈮㘰' after I run the package to get my connection information from the SSIS configurations table.

It is showing correctly in the SSIS configurations  Table.

Is this the result of the package encrypting these or am I having some other troubles?

Thanks!
Will
