[chef] Chef newbie: Web.config manipulations

[Andrew Hodgson < >]

Hi,

Just wondering if there is any tutorial out there that goes through modifying 
Windows .net .config files using Chef whereby the config file is tokenised in 
the following way:

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyConnectionString" connectionString="Data 
Source=__AppDBServer__;Initial Catalog=__AppDatabase__;User 
ID=__AppDBUserID__;Password=__AppDBPassword__" 
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

I want a range of tokens which are unique across the different environments 
and can be used across apps, and the system will replace the relevant values 
with the actual values.  I have used DSC XTokenize module to do similar in 
the past, but I want to see if I can do it in Chef, possibly using data bags 
to store the information.

Like I say I feel I am possibly missing something as there must be a tutorial 
on it somewhere but not found anything specific, hopefully you guys can prove 
me wrong!

Thanks,
Andrew.
