Datasource Authentication

L

Lee Vance

I created a form with secondary datasources pulling from SQL Server.
Originally, my connection was setup using Windows Authentication. That posed
a problem for other users as they do not have privileges to the database.
The form is published to a SharePoint document library that others have
access to.

We created a SQL user that has privileges to the database. We want to use
that as the connection authentication rather than Windows Authentication. It
appears that when I created the connection, a System DSN was created as well.
I've gone in and switched the DSN from Windows Authentication to this new
user, but when I republish this form to the SharePoint document library, it
still tries to connect using Windows Authentication.

1) Is there something I need to do when publishing to update the connection
strings?
2) Is this SQL user name and password going to be exposed to other users at
any point?

Thanks, Lee
