Is it possible to make a plugin to open wallet via RPC?

[skinderis]

Hi, I am interested if it's possible to open wallet remotely? I mean to create a plugin which will accept RPC method to open and close wallet or to encrypt and decrypt it?

Thanks!

At this moment not, there is not any command for this purpose

If we pass the RpcServer object to the plugin, it might be able to open or unlock the wallet.

@erikzhang ye, I think it's possible, the plugin just needs to decrypt wallet before certain RPC calls.

The problem is that I don't realy know C#, is there anyone that is interested in implementing the plugin and knows C#?

@belane I saw that you are good in C# 😄

Sorry but is not in my near future roadmap, I'll take your suggestion later.
Meanwhile you can specify your wallet on settings (https://github.com/neo-project/neo-cli/blob/master/neo-cli/config.json#L16) and use https and basic auth from RpcSecurity plugin to secure your RPC.

@skinderis, why do you need this?

Open a wallet in the C# would require re-syncing the DB for checking its state.
If you need the encrypt and decrypt functionalities I suggest a Javascript based tool.

Take a look at https://neocompiler.io, there are some useful tools there.

@skinderis Now you can open wallet from plugin. neo-project/neo#421
