Hi,  our client requires plugins to be installed on Appian to pass a SAST static code scan before they can be used. Does anyone know if Appian scans plugins during deployment and in that case how is this done? Is there a way to perform a SAST scan on the plugins after deployment? Thanks in advance

So here’s the thing, I fixed an issue with an Appian plugin. I downloaded its code, was able to get it running with all dependencies and build.gradle stuff, found the faulty code and upgraded it, I also upgraded and cleaned the code since lots of functions and/or variables were either deprecated or not used (seems like nobody tried to edit this plugin for ages now and is considered a black box) Uploaded it to our demos environment for a spin and it works like butter now. The thing is, this is a vital plugin for a certain demographic, I believe an update such as what I was able to accomplish in days should’ve been done by Appian a long time ago (this shouldn’t have passed testing stage let alone be published for thousands of developers and millions of users and be dismissed for a few years now) So my question is has anyone ever faced a similar situation ? How did you deal with it ? And how do I / should I get in contact with Appian regarding this? I noticed the “

Hi all,  I have seen that the decodeJWT function of JWT Tools plug-in returns the decoded token but only if the signature is valid, otherwise it returns null. This function needs jwks url to retrieve the proper public key and validate the given token.  Does anyone know if there is a way to decode a JWT without validating the signature? It is possible to decode a JWT with a private key stored in scs? Is there any other plug-in to create and validate JWTs? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm trying to send a file from my Appian application to a remote server that has its own hostname, username, password, and key file. I have implemented the process to do this. While attempting to connect to this remote server, I have configured the file transfer configuration like this: 'type!{plugins.ps.appiancorp.com/.../}FT_Config'( serverPort: 22, serverHostName: cons!ETT_HostName, privateKeyFile: cons!ETT_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY_RSA ) However, I still don't know how to successfully connect to the server, even though the process does not throw any errors. How can I resolve this? I'm really stuck; I can't find documentation, tutorials, or even an explanation of how the plugin works for beginners, which is a very terrible thing for such an important plugin. The problem is that the process is not throwing any errors and there's no logic to connect to the server without the username and password.
