# Application Settings

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is *only* available for Umbraco Cloud projects on a **Standard** or **Professional** plan.
{% endhint %}

Umbraco Cloud enables you to toggle a selection of predefined settings for each of the project's environments. A change of an application setting enables you to change one specific behavior of the app service that an environment is running in. The objective of application settings is to empower you with features or functionality that aren't available by default.

You can find this option in **Settings** -> **Advanced** -> **Custom Application Settings**. Currently, the only available setting is the **Enable client certificate loaded from file system**.

## Enable client certificate loaded from file system Explained

To load a client certificate (such as an X.509 certificate) at runtime, enable this feature for one or more environments. Enabling this feature for an environment allows you to load a client certificate file during your cloud project's runtime.

For more information on loading a certificate from a file, see the [Load certificate from file](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-ssl-certificate-in-code#load-certificate-from-file) article in the Microsoft documentation.

{% hint style="info" %}
When toggling the setting, a confirmation prompt is displayed. Enabling/disabling this feature enforces a restart of the environment.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cloud/build-and-customize-your-solution/set-up-your-project/project-settings/application-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
