Hello,
I am converting a asp.net web app from using connection string safety in the
web.config to using encrypted values using astnet_setreg. I am running into
a problem running the page.
The connection strings are used to connect to SQL server 2000 to load
datasets with the information for the system.
Here is what I have done.
Ran aspnet_setreg following the directions. i specified -c and supplied the
existing string.
I then placed the string generated by aspnet_setreg into the webconfig file.
example:
<add key="WEBCON"
value="registry:HKLM\Software\WEB\DAT\ASPNET_SETREG,sqlConnectionString"/>
I then have the webpage retreive the value as follows:
Dim securityConn As New
SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("WEBCON"))
When I run the web I receive the error:
Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification
starting at index 0.
Please Assist
