XSN file contains database connection strings. So it is
not acceptable to allow user to downlad my xsn file. How i
can restrict users to not download my xsn file? They
should not to see data connection strings. Is there any
advice for this?

How can i make my infopath forms secure?


Thanks.

The xsn file is the form. Without it, they can't open the form. This is a
problem with any two-tiered application. If the client makes it's own
connections to a database, the connection string must be there somewhere.

This would be true of any client application that makes it's own connections
to SQL Server. I use a web service to talk to the form, and the web service
makes the connections to the DB (after it authenticates the request, and
check the role for authorization).
