encryption - Encrypting elmah section of web.config file -

how can encrypt elmah section of web.config file, smtp server & login information protected?

i've learned how encrypt connection strings, appsettings , other sections; using code or aspnet_regiis.exe.

however, when try , encrypt section, tells me section not found.

is there trick encrypting it?

thanks, +m

the information above correct (that need target "errormail" or specific sub-section of elmah group). however, solution more code needed...

here's cleaner solution using "elmah/errormail". solution:

string section = "elmah/errormail";  configuration config = webconfigurationmanager.openwebconfiguration(httpruntime.appdomainappvirtualpath); // let's work section  configurationsection configsection = config.getsection(section); if (configsection != null)     // encrypt section if not protected     if (!configsection.sectioninformation.isprotected)     {         // encrypt <connectionstrings> section using          // dataprotectionconfigurationprovider provider         configsection.sectioninformation.protectsection("dataprotectionconfigurationprovider");         config.save();     }
