3.2.x and Earlier Login Switching

[Klingenstein, Nate]

I have one stupid question that is going to kill me if I don't know why.  I'm sorry for it and the lame joke, but, why must there be String beans?

e.g.

    <bean id="osu.authn.Duo.OptInCookieName" class="java.lang.String" c:_0="osu_idp_duo" />

and not just a 

osu.authn.Duo.OptInCookieName = osu_idp_duo

line in duo.properties?

> Yes, it cloned and I'll be back if I have any further questions.  Thank you so much.
