Kentico API to update settings doesn't reflect in CMS

Question

I'm trying to programmatically update the WIF thumbprint value in Kentico. I've developed a small app that does the following:

Get's the value
string thumprintValue = SettingsKeyInfoProvider.GetValue("CMSWIFTrustedCertificateThumbprint");

Set's the new value
SettingsKeyInfoProvider.SetGlobalValue("CMSWIFTrustedCertificateThumbprint", newThumbprintValue);

I can see the value being updated in the database. The app returns the new value as well.

The problem is that when I login to Kentico CMS (I'm using Kentico 9.0.42 BTW) and check the value in the portal, it still shows the old value.

I checked that the app and the Kentico CMS app are both connecting to the same database. What else could it be?

Thanks!

It's most likely a cached value you're seeing in the database. Clear the cache in the System app and try viewing the settings again.
