Hello,

- Is it possible to also use Openshift system variables in dreamfactory connection settings like OPENSHIFT\_MONGO\_DB\_HOST?

Thanks,

Daniel.

Currently the DSP will read the connection string verbatim and pass it on to the DB driver as a string, with no interpretation. However this would be a good feature to have, so we have added it to the development backlog. Be sure to [follow us on GitHub](https://github.com/dreamfactorysoftware/dsp-core) to stay apprised of all future releases.
