Following steps we need to follow for encryption of the web.config file sections (as shown for connection string):
Step 1: Run the Command Prompt as an Administrator
Step 2: go to the location: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 by entering the following command at the command prompt.
to set path in command prompt - (cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319)
Step 3: run the following command at the command prompt.aspnet_regiis -pef "connectionStrings" "C:\Users\user\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\WebSites\MyWebSite"
Here i am running the aspnet_regiis command to encrypt the connection string.I have used -pef command to encrypt the configuration section called as "connectionStrings".With pef option you can enter the physical directory path of the application where it is located.
In short in command prompt we just need to take care of the web.config file path followed by command - aspnet_regiis -pef
