But *how* do I determine when to set "LOCALUSER = true"?
That is my real concern.

Pass '-DLOCALUSER=true' or set an environment to the Java VM. In your code
you can check for the value using System.getProperty("LOCALUSER").
Features like the one you are describing are best implementing using
environment variables.
