What is Secure and unsecure Configuration in Dynamics CRM / 365 Plugins?

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM / 365 there are two types of different configurations fields are available for plugin

  1. Unsecure configuration
  2. Secure configuration

Difference between Secure/Unsecure Configuration in Dynamics CRM 365 Plugins

When to Use the Secure vs Unsecure Configuration for Dynamics 365 Plugins? Dynamics CRM provides two different configuration fields for plugins, the unsecured configuration, and the secure configuration.

Unsecure Configuration

Secure Configuration

Unsecure configuration information could be read by any user in CRM. Remember its public information (Ex: Parameter strings to be used in plugin could be supplied here)

The Secure Configuration information could be read only by CRM Administrators.(Eg: Restricted data from normal user could be supplied here)

Imagine that you include a plugin, plugin steps and activate them in a solution. Later solution was exported as Managed Solution to another environment. In this scenario, the supplied unsecure configuration values would be available in the new environment.

The plugin with secure configuration in a solution was exported as Managed Solution to another environment. In this scenario, the supplied secure configuration information would NOT be available in the new environment. The simple  reason behind this is to provide more security to the contents of Secure Configuration
