I have a quick question about storage of authentication plugin settings: Where do they go? If for example I save the hostname test.hostname.local into the CAS server configuration page at "server/admin/auth_config.php?auth=cas" and then check for its value in the moodle database within the table: mdl_config_plugins, I see that the value has been updated. But, if I change this value directly in the database, it is NOT reflected in the site administration page. This almost suggests that this setting is saved in two places.
