Warning Creating an encryption database connection string without master keys is not recommended. You should create an encryption database connection string with master keys.

Creating an Encryption Database Connection String Without Master Keys From the Master Keys tab in the AudienceView EncryptGui window is where you encrypt your database connection string without keys, which is found in the global.asa file.

The following steps describe how to encrypt a connection string:

1. Under the AudienceView directory for the current build, go to the ..\libs directory.
2. Click the EncryptGui icon.
   
3. Run the application.
   The AudienceView EncryptGui window will open.
   
4. Enter your unencrypted connection string in the large edit box.
5. Click 'Encrypt'.
6. Copy the result from the lower edit box to the global.asa.
   An encrypted string can be decrypted the same way as described above, except using the 'Decrypt' button.
