#### Is Connection string a secret?

Connection string contains iKey which is a unique identifier used by the ingestion service to associate telemetry to a specific Application Insights resource. It is not to be considered a security token or key. The ingestion endpoint provides Azure AD-based authenticated telemetry ingestion options if you want to protect your AI resource from misuse.

> Application Insights JavaScript SDK requires the connection string to be passed in during initialization/configuration. This is viewable in plain text in client browsers. There is no easy way to use the Azure AD-based authentication for browser telemetry. It is recommended that customers consider creating a separate Application Insights resource for browser telemetry if they need to secure the service telemetry.
