We have a major security problem here.
All of our web application uses UDLs to connect to our databases.
This UDLs keeps login and passwords saved.

I wonder if someone gets access to this UDLs can expose all databases and he
can access unauthorized data.

Can you guys give me a alternate way to change UDLs to another way of
connection without making a lot of work to change all applications that we
have? I dont want to hard-code user and passwords into applications too...
I was thinking about windows registry keys or somenthing...

Thanks for help.
