Upload a plugin

To upload or update a plugin, complete the following steps. To update a plugin, upload a new version. Starting with version 6.4, you can also delete plugins using the REST API. For details, see Delete a plugin.

  1. POST the plugin as a zip file (application/zip) to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/upload/plugins endpoint, for example:

    curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/zip" --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/upload/plugins --data-binary @<path-to-plugin.zip>

    If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new plugin, as well as information about the uploaded plugin. For example:

    {
    "meta": {
        "href": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa/aa423b72-0d0f-4275-be30-494e9a99ffad",
        "parent": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa"
    },
    "key": "aa423b72-0d0f-4275-be30-494e9a99ffad",
    "body": {
        "name": "Sample-Authentication-Plugin",
        "description": "My custom authentication plugin",
        "version": "1.12",
        "path": "/opt/scb/var/plugins/aa/Sample-Authentication-Plugin",
        "api": "1.0"
    }
}

Note the following points.

  • Re-uploading an already existing plugin overwrites the existing plugin.

  • Uploading a newer version of an already existing plugin overwrites the existing plugin.

Code Description Notes
201 Created The plugin has been successfully uploaded. The response should include the key of the created object.
400 The plugin does not support this version of SPS.
400 InvalidPlugin The type or some other value in the Manifest file of the plugin is invalid, or this version of SPS does not support this type of plugin. Check the error key in the response for details.
401 Unauthenticated The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.
422 TransactionProcessingError The plugin was uploaded but deploying the plugin failed for some reason.

Delete a plugin

Starting with version 6.4, you can also delete plugins using the REST API.

  1. DELETE the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/plugins/aa/<ID-of-the-plugin-to-delete> endpoint. For details, see Delete an object. If the DELETE request is successful, the response includes only the meta object, for example:

    {
    "meta": {
        "href": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa/b080b1ba546232548bb1a9",
        "parent": "/api/configuration/plugins/aa"
    }
}
Code Description Notes
200 The plugin has been successfully deleted
400 SemanticError The plugin cannot be deleted, because there is reference to it in the configuration (For example, AA plugin delete fails because there is an AA Plugin Configuration for it).
401 Unauthenticated The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.

Sample request

The following command retrieves the results of the integrity check.

curl --cookie cookies https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/plugin/integrity?key=<key-value-from-the-response-of-the-last-creation>&plugin_type=aa&ops=zip_checksum&ops=zip_content&ops=unregistered
