How can one remove the saved username and password from arcgis layer (.lyr) files?
A scripted solution preferred but even a point and click method will be welcome.

I've used the script linked below with fairly good success. I'm able to select, and repoint multiple lyrfiles to a separate database connection. It seems to choke on Annotation, and Grouped lyrfiles, but the time this saves makes it worth using. I'm able to re-source an lyrfile from a database connection containing user information, to one with a partial connection. Now when a user tries to use one of these lyrfiles, they are prompted for a password. Note: ArcGIS typically holds user information during a session, so it's a good idea to shut down all your windows, and reopen ArcGIS to properly test. |
