Hi, The Connection String provided in our Winhost control panel is following: "Data Source=tcp:s03.Winhost.com;Initial Catalog=<database name>;User ID=<user id>;Password=******;Integrated Security=False;" Question 1: Can I not put down the User ID and the password in my connection string, and change it to: "Data Source=tcp:s03.Winhost.com;Initial Catalog=<database name>;Integrated Security=True;Persist Security Info=True;" Btw, do we really leave the password set to "******", or we are supposed to replace it by our real password? Thanks a lot! -Cindy
No you need to put the the db login and password otherwise your application will not be able to access the SQL server. And no, the password is not "*********" we try to keep the password secured and we will not know it. It is common in most companies to put ******* on the password to relay a message that only you know the password.
