Plugins for browsers are needed when we can not inject the necessary lines of code directly into the page (code) or the application does not offer the possibility to load the script (like SharePoint Extensions do).
It has only one goal: Wait Extension waits until a GRAVITY enabled URL is hit with the browser, setup setups the correct backend URL and start the inject scripts. After that basically the plugin is not needed anymore; but since we want to update configs once in a while the configuration has an expiration date after which the procedure is repeatedloads additional scripts on that page.

Extension Option

Developers and System Engineers can use the option page of the plugin to force reset the config for faster development (takes time to wait 196 hours) testing or to logout the current user. Also verbose logging can be turned on/off for debugging.

...

The plugin coming from the browser store is configured to automatically grab the configuration from “config.gravity.globa”lglobal”. In order to use the public available browser plugin in an On-premise environment you need to configure a CNAME DNS entry point to your On-Premise GRAVITY App.

...

To check if an URL is GRAVITY enabled we need to compare two URLs. Two factors make sure no one ever sees these URLs besides the user, his local machine and plugin respectively.

1. They are client side compared by the plugin

2. They are transmitted and compared hashed (SHA-256), so not even when having the payload one can see or decode which URLs are GRAVITY activated or which URLs exist.

If a URL matched, the config is stored plain text, but since someone already got the URL right it is irrelevant. The URL is stored in the plugins own local storage together with a time to live. If it expires (checked on every page change), the procedure starts from the beginning.
