Remarks

When the SQL Data Source wizard obtains connection strings from the Web.config file, only the connection name is serialized with the report definition.

You can register a custom connection string provider. Based on the registration mode you choose, all the connection parameters or the connection name only are serialized along with a report data source. When the report serialized with connection parameters is passed to the client, these parameters are encrypted by applying the MachineKey algorithm. To provide a custom encryption mechanism, use the ISecureDataConverter interface.
