A Backdrop CMS module which provides some well-known services.
The following well-known services are available:
-
change-password: A service which can be used by password managers to find a website’s change password page. Read the draft W3C specification: A Well-Known URL for Changing Passwords. -
autoconfig/mail: Autoconfiguration service for email clients like Thunderbird, Evolution, etc. Read more about Thunderbird autoconfiguration and the associated configuration file format.
If you are using backdrop version 1.22.0 or later then there are no special requirements.
However, if you are using backdrop version 1.21.4 or earlier then you
must replace your .htaccess file with the one provided by this
module at htaccess/modified.htaccess. This is because the original
.htaccess file does not allow backdrop to serve pages starting with
the .well-knownpath, see issue
5583.
Note: htaccess/original.htaccess is a copy of the default
.htaccess file from backdrop version 1.21.4 which
modified.htaccess is based on, it is only present for comparison
purposes.

Install this module in the usual way, see the contributed modules of the user guide for details.

If you are using backdrop version 1.21.4 or earlier then you must replace your
