Encrypt the information about database
connections in the BlackBerry Enterprise
Transporter configuration file
When you configure the source BlackBerry Configuration Database and the destination BlackBerry Configuration Database
in the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter, information about the database connections is stored in the BlackBerry
Enterprise Transporter configuration file (EnterpriseTransporter.exe.config). If you select Microsoft SQL Server
Authentication for a BlackBerry Configuration Database, the password information is stored in the configuration file in plain
text (the password is not stored if you choose Windows authentication). You can modify the configuration file to encrypt the
information that it contains about database connections.
Note:
If you encrypt the information about database connections in the BlackBerry Enterprise Transporter configuration
file and you copy or move the configuration file to a different computer, you cannot decrypt the information about database
connections on the new computer.
