Configuration for custom activity

Hi,

I've written a custom workflow CodeActivity that connects to a database. Now where is the best place to store connection settings (username/password)? I could use a parameter in the workflow, but then it could possibly be viewed by an (advanced) user, right? I'd rather store this kind of information in a server-side configuration file, but I am not sure where. Web.config perhaps?

Best regards,

  Hi Berend,

  There is a connectionStrings section that you can use in "REST Elements/Rest/Web.config" and "Workflow Designer/Geocortex.Workflow.Designer.exe.config" See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254494.aspx for more details.

  Also there are two new activities coming in the next Essentials release that allow you to connect to a database and execute SQL SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements.

  Hi Ryan,

  I'm aware of the new activities, but unfortunately our client is still at 3.8.

  The "REST Elements/Rest/Web.config" is exactly what I was looking for, so thanks for that!
