do you mean your apps is asking for credentials?
or do you mean you want to not expose or embed the connection credentials in your apps?

use windows authentication to eliminate your problems, otherwise, encrypt the credentials in your connection file

Hi jen.
Yes, my app is asking for credentials. I need to use sql authentication because I am retrieving the database from the server. What do you mean by encrypt the credentials in your connection file? Do you mean in SQL configuration manager? If so, how to encrypt the credential?

Thanks.
