We have an SSIS package that has a connecton string to to an iSeries DB2 and it needs an entered password. We ship this package (*.dstx in XML) file out to clients with a vb.net utility to enter their iSeries IP, Userid and password information.
The vb.net program then edits the dstx file with this information and then starts the Deployment Wizard (might change to DTUTIL, but not sure). But the password is in plain text in the dstx file now. Yes I can remove it after the Wizard is done. But wondering
is there a way to encrypt the password in the dstx file, from within vb.net - or really from anywhere? obviously it needs to be encrypted so that either DTUTIL or Deployment Wizard (start the Manifest file) can recognize it.
