How to determine connection string for session state in Azure

Question

I use RedisSessionStateProviderusing this method https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-session-state-caching/

I define its connection string in web.config, in this example XXXXXX.

 <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.6.1" />
    <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" />
    <globalization culture="es-CO" uiCulture="es" />
    <customErrors mode="Off" />
    <sessionState mode="Custom" customProvider="SessionStateStore">
      <providers>
        <add name="SessionStateStore" type="Microsoft.Web.Redis.RedisSessionStateProvider" connectionString="XXXXXX" throwOnError="true" applicationName="NominappSession" />
      </providers>
    </sessionState>
  </system.web>

I do not want to put the connection string in the source code. So how can I use settings in Azure to define this connection string?

I am deploying on azure from github, so it uses Kudu. I do not have an external CI server.

Any tips please?
