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.

Requirements

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.

Installation

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 .htaccess file with the one provided by this module
at htaccess/modified.htaccess, e.g. cp PATH_TO_CONTRIB_MODULES/well_known/htaccess/modified.htaccess PATH_TO_DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htacess.
Visit the configuration page under Administration > Configuration > System >
Well-known URIs (admin/config/system/well-known) and
configure the services you require.
