<div dir="ltr">Sounds like an interesting idea. For a while ago I was thinking about how you'd manage clients and hostnames in different environments (dev, test, prod) without having to modify the config. My idea at the time was to introduce server aliases which would be a similar thing to what you are proposing although with much more limited use.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 28 August 2016 at 12:24, Thomas Darimont <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:thomas.darimont@googlemail.com" target="_blank">thomas.darimont@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello group,</div><div><br></div><div>currently the configuration for themes, extensions, clients is quite local to a </div><div>component and one has to repeat some information like company name, trademark, </div><div>URLs, parts of application name etc.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be cool if an admin could configure a set of key-value pairs on realm </div><div>level that could then be used / referenced in client definitions, user attributes, themes, emails.</div><div>The admin-console could feature a new tab 'attributes' in the realm-settings </div><div>in which one could configure key-value pairs with support for string, boolean, </div><div>numeric and lists values.</div><div><br></div><div>This could also be used as a centralized configuration source of custom extensions e.g. </div><div>FederationProvider, RequiredActions, Authenticators.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course something like this is already partially possible with system properties / env-variables.</div><div>However these values are hard to change at runtime.
