Configure PluginSettings

Warning

This CRM service depends on settings which need to be identical if used across multiple UCC's within a service, meaning the values should be identical across all UCC configurations using it. We call these primary settings. A primary setting is defined by the first UCC to publish its settings during startup of the service. This may not always be the same UCC if multiple UCC's share this service! If values differ across multiple UCC's this will lead to unpredictable behavior after a service restart. It is extremely important to keep the values consistent/identical and valid.
