CRM.designer

The settings.xml file is located in the .. \web\settings\ folder of your CRM.designer installation.

Note: You need to reset the IIS after modifying the settings.xml.

Use CRM.cryptographic tool to encrypt (part of) the settings.xml file, e.g. to encrypt the connection string, see CRM.cryptographic tool in the CRM.core Administrator Guide.

The settings.xml file may contain the following entries:

designerDsn

<!ENTITY designerDsn "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=<db-servername>;Initial
Catalog=<databasename>;UID=<username>; PWD=<password>">

The connection string to the CRM.designer database. Automatically entered during setup.
