your connections end up in the local QSettings

On linux these are in ~/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf

On windows they by default end up in the registry.

in my QGIS2.conf they end up with a key starting with 'connections-wms'

you can (also on Windows) instruct QGIS to (temporarily) create a
QGIS2.conf file. I wrote something about this in this blogpost (see the
last section):

Hope this is helpfull,
