It is recommended to make use of the following syntax: .. code-block:: php $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SVCONF'][service type]['setup'][config key] = value; Example: .. code-block:: php $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SVCONF']['auth']['setup']['FE_alwaysFetchUser'] = true; This configuration can be placed in a local configuration file (:file:`ext_localconf.php` ). There's no API for retrieving these values. It's just a best practice recommendation.
