I am using a legacy ASP.NET Web Forms application. For session state management, I am utilizing "Microsoft.Web.RedisSessionStateProvider" version 5.0.4 to connect to my on-premises Redis instance. The connection string is specified in the web.config file, and I am successfully able to establish a connection and save/retrieve session data from Redis.
Below is the connection string I'm using to connect to the Redis Instance
Issue
The connection string currently includes the password in plain text, which is visible to anyone with access to the web.config file. This exposes a security risk as the password is not encrypted.
Objective
I need a way to encrypt the entire connection string in the web.config file so that the password is not exposed in plain text.
Considerations
Current Configuration: I have achieved switching the session store to Redis without any code changes, solely by modifying the web.config file.
Impact of Encryption: If the connection string is encrypted, will it necessitate code changes or the development of a custom session state provider?
Request
Provide a solution or best practice to encrypt the connection string in the web.config file.
Clarify if encryption will require modifications to the existing code or the implementation of a custom session state provider.
Thank you for your assistance.
