It would be nice to have an API to read in values for application settings. That way, conditional logic could be implemented to act differently depending on what those settings are and when they change.
Hi Devin,
Could you please give me any examples of which properties may impact the business logic of your application?

If registration was turned off, the app could be aware of that early on and present a message instead of the registration form. Whereas now, the app would need to display the form, let the user attempt to register, and then wait for the error message for the app to know that registration was disabled.
If I were to turn on user account locking, and set the lock time to 5 minutes, I may want to tell the user how long they’ll need to wait if locked out (the current locked out error doesn’t specify that time length). Then later, if I dialed it down to 1 min, I wouldn’t have to update a hard coded time length in the app.
There may be other settings that could be useful, but nothing that’s really important to me. Nevertheless, things like that may come in handy.
