.net - Encrypting Windows Authentication connection strings -


I'm accessing SQL Server database using a Windows Server authentication

  1. Do I need to encrypt the connection string in web.config?
  2. What is the name of the connection string (or database) in case of security? (Like: ApplicationServices ?

I disagree with klausbyskov I will encrypt my connection string even if the name of the server is actually highlighting, but it keeps at least one goal out of it. By encrypting the connection string, that goal will be removed.

Knowing is half the battle.

As far as the connection is the string name, I keep it obscure, The output does not give the name of the database server or anything like that.
