Configure plugin

Click Create and input the following into the plugin editor:

  • Name: Plugin name must be unique.

  • Is Public: Determines if the plugin is available for access from Worker API or not. It's not recommended to turn on this settings for sensitive plugins.

  • Desctription: Here you can describe more what the plugin is about.

  • Plugin: Upload the plugin package - a zip package containing DLL files required for the plugin to execute.

  • Settings: Plugin configuration in a text format, e.g., JSON, XML.

Plugin security

Plugin security is vital. Casewhere executes plugins in a partially trusted AppDomain - separate from Casewhere's core - to mitigate the risk of plugins being exploited to execute malicious code. The 'Is Public' setting is optional because some plugins are too sensitive to be exposed to a web interface.

Additionally - for even more extensive security - Casewhere allows you to define rules to protect the plugin methods.
