Have you also added this on the client side? Either to the connection
string or to the environment variable? And if you did it with the
environment variable, double-check that it actually took effect in the
 client app - sometimes you need to log out and back in again when
using the GUI editors, and if you changed it from the commandline it
might simply be gone.
