Hi.

We are a team working on a bunch of SSIS packages, which we share using version control (SVN). We have three ways of saving sensitive data in these packages :

not storing them at all
storing them with a user key
storing them with a password

However, each of these options is inconvenient while testing packages saved and committed by an other developer. For each such package, one has to update the credentials, no matter how the sensitive data was persisted.

Is there a better way to collaborate on SSIS packages?
