If you just want to be able to provide your connection string from your source code, you can use the settingsClassName and settingsMethodName properties in the config, like so:

In here, the settingsClassName is the name of a class in your app, with its fully qualified namespace. The settingsMethod name is the name of the method on this class, which must be static, take 0 parameters and return an string. For example:

namespace MyApp
{
    public static class SessionStateRedisSettings
    {
        public static string ConnectionString()
        {
            return "ConnectionString goes here";
        }
    }
}
