The present invention provides methods, machine readable memories and systems for versioning plugin adapters for servers so as to allow legacy versions of software plugins to function when the interfaces configured to accept the plugins are upgraded. An adapter resides between a plugin interface and the plugin module and converts requests designed for a current or new version to requests designed for legacy versions. In some embodiments, the interface elements are designed to extend and adapt the functionality of a security apparatus by enabling the security apparatus to utilize third party security providers. |
