This method returns an array of strings. Each element of the
array represents a configurable parameter, or some other
meta-info (such as help-token)
there is an entry indexed on that parameter name
;[,required];;...
Where:
type_info is either 'string', 'number', 'boolean', 'password' or
'choice(ch1,ch2,ch3,...)'
If the marker 'required' is included after the type_info,
the parameter will has some visually distinctive marking in
the UI.
'description' is a short sentence describing the parameter
'choice' is rendered as a drop-down list. The first parameter in the
list will be activated by default
'boolean' is rendered as a checkbox. The resulting parameter will be
either 'true' or 'false'
'string' allows any characters
'number' allows only numbers
'password' is rendered as a password field (the characters are replaced
with *'s when being types. This parameter is not passed through to
the plugin. It is instead inserted directly into the password cache
keyed on the instance name. The value of the parameter
'bindPWPrompt' (see example below) is set to the key.
In addition to the configurable parameters, the following magic parameters
may be defined:
HELP_TOKEN;helptoken - a pointer to the online manual section for this plugin
HELP_TEXT;helptext - a general help string describing the plugin
For example:
"username;string;The username you wish to login as"
"bindPWPrompt;password;Enter password to bind as above user with"
"algorithm;choice(RSA,DSA);Which algorithm do you want to use"
"enable;boolean;Do you want to run this plugin"
"port;number;Which port number do you want to use"
