hi, is there any way to encrypt sections of other configuration files?
I already have done the one available for web.config but our application also have other config files containing credentials. Any procedure that I can do similar to the one available in aspnet_regiis.exe? Thanks.

I don't think that I understand your meaning very well, do you need a way to encrypt web.config file other than using aspnet_regiis.exe?
if it's this meaning, I think this is available for you about encrypting and decrypting application config sections
here.
If I misunderstand you or anything wrong, please let me know.
hope it helps you,
Kind regards

No, our application have other configuration files that contains credentials in addition to the web.config. aspnet_regiis.exe works only on web.config, i need a procedure similar to that that would encrypt the other config files.
It seems that this IIS config encryption utility is available to encrypt configuration files of ASP.NET applications. This HTTP handler allows you to encrypt configuration files of your ASP.NET applications, without the need to have access to console of
your web server to run the encryption utility from command line.
