Enfocus may license selected third-party vendors to develop scripted plug-ins or configurators for Switch, based on commercial considerations.
In most cases, a third-party vendor has to submit the (unprotected) script package to Enfocus for code review and quality assurance. Upon approval, Enfocus will save the scripted plug-in with the appropriate password.
Certain third-party vendors may be handed a scripted plug-in password (after signing the required licensing agreement), so that they can create a scripted plug-in by themselves.
If you are interested in developing a scripted plug-in or configurator for Switch, please contact Enfocus.
Depending on the password used to save a scripted plug-in, it may be enabled for use with any of the Switch product flavors (including LightSwitch and FullSwitch). In contrast, regular script packages are supported only in Switch.
When loading a scripted plug-in from the "scripted-plugin" or "third-party-plugin" folder, Switch verifies the password with which the plug-in was saved and acts according to the description in the following table:
| Password | Plug-in type | Load action |
|---|---|---|
| Not a scripted-plug password or not valid for the current Switch flavor | Not allowed | Does not load the Plug-in |
| Valid scripted plug-in password but not one of the built-in passwords | Third-party |
Loads the plug-in with the following changes: |
| One of the built-in passwords | Built-in | Loads the plug-in in the requested section |
