Security issues with package configs and "master" packages

  • Hi

    I am using a package configuration file to store my sql login/password. When I schedule the packages individually through SQL Server agent they run fine, but when I create a "master package" which calls the detailed packages, it fails when I try and run it through SQL Server agent.

    I get a long error message "....... Failed to decrypt protected XML node "Password".......etc etc

    Thanks in advance!!!

  • Hi Chris,

    I use similar "master package". I think I can help you, but I need more information.

    Do you use your "master package" (with passwords) as "parent" package? What value do you have for the "ProtectionLevel" property in "child" package and in "parent" package? Did you set your "child" package configuration to the "Parent package variable" type?
