BIDS 2008, SQL 2008 R2
Support SQL 2005, 2008, 2008 R2, 2012
Created a BIDS SSIS package with a configuration file. One of the configuration variables is the password for a connection string. The package is installed with the Deployment Installation Wizard and the password is entered here. Then the package is deployed and the configuration file is copied to the DTS\Package path. If you look in the config file the password is in plain text. This is not acceptable. What are some options? My 2 main requirements are (1) sensitive informatino is secure (2) distribute packages to multiple clients and they must install the package with their own connection strings.
