Configuration settings¶

SAIF.Application.Policy reads no keyed app-settings and defines no custom configuration sections. Its direct configuration surface consists of two AppGlobal.EnvironmentService properties (IsClientExternal, IsProduction) plus portal setup statements that create the Oracle Policy portal and force the GEN database user.

Configuration retrieval methods¶

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
`IsClientExternal`	`IEnvironmentService` via `AppGlobal.EnvironmentService`	`SAIF.Framework.Security`	Read directly as a Boolean property to suppress Business Online access text for external clients
`IsProduction`	`IEnvironmentService` via `AppGlobal.EnvironmentService`	`SAIF.Framework.Security`	Read directly as a Boolean property to hide test information in production
`CreateOraclePortal("Policy")`	Data-layer portal setup	`SAIF.Framework`	Creates the named Oracle portal for policy reads
`DataLayer.DBUser = "GEN"`	Data-layer identity assignment	`SAIF.Framework`	Forces a fixed Oracle database user for the policy portal
`ApplicationSettingsBase` (`My.Settings`)	`MySettings`	`SAIF.Application.Policy.My`	Designer scaffolding exists but contains no configured settings

Environment API settings¶

Setting key	Method	Data type	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
`IsClientExternal`	Property	Boolean	Suppresses Business Online access text for external clients	`PolicyAppManager`	`Application\SAIF.Application.Policy\PolicyAppManager.vb`
`IsProduction`	Property	Boolean	Hides diagnostic test information in production	`clsStandardPolicyHeaderSettings`	`Application\SAIF.Application.Policy\PolicyHeader\clsStandardPolicyHeaderSettings.vb`

AppSettings (Web.config)¶

No ConfigurationManager.AppSettings usage was identified.

Database connection configuration¶

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Source
`Policy`	Oracle	`DataLayer.CreateOraclePortal("Policy")`	Primary Oracle policy portal for all application-layer reads	`Application\SAIF.Application.Policy\PolicyAppManager.vb`
`GEN`	Oracle	`DataLayer.DBUser = "GEN"`	Fixed Oracle database identity for the `Policy` portal	`Application\SAIF.Application.Policy\PolicyAppManager.vb`

Secure settings¶

No encrypted or secure-setting retrievals were identified in this library.

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)¶

Setting key	Method	Source dependency	Dependency type	Purpose
`BDS_USER`	Environment/config lookup inside dependency	`SAIF.Business.View.Policy`	NuGet	Builds the SQL Server portal used by delegated group-membership authorization
`bdsDatabase`	Environment/config lookup inside dependency	`SAIF.Business.View.Policy`	NuGet	Supplies the SQL Server host or instance for delegated group-membership authorization
`BDS_DATABASENAME`	Environment/config lookup inside dependency	`SAIF.Business.View.Policy`	NuGet	Supplies the SQL Server database name for delegated group-membership authorization

Configuration dependencies¶

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
`AppGlobal.EnvironmentService`	Service	Runtime property evaluation	Business Online text and test-information gating cannot evaluate correctly
Oracle portal resolution for `Policy`	Service/configuration	Startup and retrieval	Portal creation fails and the manager marks the context not set and no-access
ODP.NET registration supplied by the host	Provider registration	Portal creation	Oracle portal creation can fail before policy retrieval begins*
`BDS_USER`, `bdsDatabase`, `BDS_DATABASENAME`	Dependency configuration	Delegated authorization branch	Group-user authorization inside `SAIF.Business.View.Policy` cannot execute correctly

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
