encrypted password in connection string

stanleyciaJul 21 2012 — edited Aug 24 2012
I have a web project using ODP.NET & C#. The web connect to database using the schema user which have full privileges on all tables. All my programmer teams connect to database using their own oracle account with limited privileges. But since we all have access to the source code so everybody can see the connectionstring which is contains the password.

Is there any way to provide the connectionstring with encrypted password, maybe like
"User Id=someuser;Encrypted Password=sslKkxks;Data Source=somedatabase;". This is like wrapping a procedure, we can compile it without able to see the source.

Using method to build the connectionstring dynamically also wont work since we can run it on localhost and debug the connectionstring.

Thanks for any input.
