Hi,

I have a .NET Windows client which is using SQL Autentification to connect
to a server. I am using the ADO.NET SqlConnection object to connect to the
server. When I enter the password in the connection string, is the password
then being send in clear text to the server or is it being encrupted inside
the SqlConnection object?

Thanks
Henrik

My bet is on clear text. Why not windows authentication, there you will not
have to worry about this?.
