We got a situation where we need to write a windows service using c#, the service need to be install on a particular -single- server. Also service need to communicate with a DB to access certain table to process data.What will be the best approach to pass on the credentials to this service?We have built the service, but now doing some R&D about passing credentials. We don't want to save them hard coded inside the code of course, also we don't like the idea of saving them in the file on server. We are thinking of passing it as parameters, when we install the service using InstallUtil.What do you guys think, is it good or there is something better to it?
