  4. To test the connection to the database using the connection string information you entered, click Test Connection.
  5. Click Save.
  6. To encrypt your connection string configuration information, click Protect Configuration.
  7. Save your connection string information to the JSON configuration file.

You can also edit or remove existing connection strings. To edit an existing connection string, select the string and click Edit.
