Is it possible to specify a relative connection string for an AzMan XML store?

Is it possible to specify a relative connection string for an AzMan XML store?

My current connection string is connectionString='msxml://c:/azman.xml' but I really need to make that relative so other developers and automated builds can get the latest authorization store.

MS documentation seems to suggest that connectionString='msxml://azman.xml' should work but that throws a The request is not supported error.

EDIT: I realised that the fact I’m using AzMan through the Enterprise Library Security Application Block was important to the question.

  1. It is possible to enter the token {currentPath} into the connection string used by the security application block.

    This gave me the behavior I was after, allowing the AzMan.xml file to be accessed from with the application folder.

    The connection string I am using is:

    <authorizationProviders>   <add storeLocation='msxml://{currentPath}/azman.xml'     application='My_Application' scope='' auditIdentifierPrefix='AzMan Authorization Provider'     type='Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AzMan.AzManAuthorizationProvider, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.AzMan, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'     name='AzMan Provider' /> </authorizationProviders>
