Hello everyone,

Can someone recommend me the most efficient protection level for SSIS
packages for my environment? I've been doing some reading on this lately, but can't really decide which one to use. The Rely on server storage for encryption (ServerStorage) seems interesting, but I'm unsure if that would work on my environment (Windows Authentication).

Currently I'm saving my packages to my dev server under "Encrypt sensitive data with user key" Protection level, but seems like the passwords for the FTP Connection for instance doesn't get saved when I deploy my package to the server.

Our environment consists of 2 dev servers + 2 prod servers with windows authentication, our SQL Agent Account is a domain account with local admin rights and sysadmin rights on the SQL Server and we try to use proxy accounts to access network resources instead of giving the agent access to everything.

This is what I found on MS's web site.

If you don't want other people to look at your package, you can just set access passwor for the package.
