Creating a new subject to avoid hijacking Andrews thread.


Prasad, as mentioned earlier we are not going to use the vTiger market place extension on our servers for security reasons and I assume more companies will think the same way.

That leaves the option for those companies to install modules via de manual install but the modules will not be encrypted and easy to copy (correct me if I am wrong)

I haven’t been checking what could be an alternative option but would love to hear suggestions and experience how people protect their vTiger modules.

Ioncube has been a standard way but I am not sure how it plays with the marketplace.

Would it be possible to add a modules to the marketplace with a 3rd party encryption like ioncube?

I really hope you guys find a way to make the market place work with some form of security but without the mandatory extra extension install. That would solve most issues (and end this discussion)

If you are not choosing source-protection for your extension on marketplace. When customer downloads the file it would not be altered. This would mean the code you had submitted (raw / encrypted) would be sent over.

I assume you would submit the code with 3rd party protection if you have already have the licensed copy of those application.

Could you please share more details on the confusion.

But than the source is unprotected.
I would like to see (as mentioned by others) a common way like ioncube, to protect the source. I like the idea to support the market, I like the idea of bringing in modules but it needs a decent protection without extra libs.

Bastiaan,

You can list the extension on marketplace for free and opt-out source protection.
Customers will be able to use the same on CRM without need of "exotic drivers".

Prasad
