Is it safe to write connection string in web.config in an ASP.net application.
The application will be using 2 databases and I think the connection string can be retrieved easily.
Can anyone please suggest a secure place(web.config or other file) for writting the connection string except encrypting it.
Web.configis the right place for this. You can encrypt the connection string if that’s a concern for you. Encrypting the connection string in Web.config it’s already supported in ASP.NET and it seems that you already know that…Link for reference.
