Doug, I'm not referring to a Desktop keyring. I'm referring to the Settings[0] file created by the Connection Editor when the
"OK" button is clicked. It is found in the project's directory in the hidden directory, ".connection". In my case, it is named,
"Connection1.connection" and is just a text file with the connection parameters -- minus the password.
