Initial simple way to Webfinger enable your domain -- needs PHP.
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
Step 1
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
First, put the folders 'xrd' and 'dot-well-known' on your website, so
|
|
they load at:
|
|
|
|
http://yourname.com/xrd/
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
http://yourname.com/.well-known/
|
|
|
|
(Remember the . at the beginning of this one)
|
|
|
|
Step 2
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Next, edit xrd/index.php and enter a secret in this line:
|
|
|
|
$s = "";
|
|
|
|
This can be anything you like...
|
|
|
|
$s = "johnny-five";
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$s = "12345";
|
|
|
|
It really doesn't matter too much.
|
|
|
|
Step 3
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
For each user on your site, and this might only be you...
|
|
|
|
Make a copy of the example@example.com.xml file so that it's called...
|
|
|
|
yoursecretusername@domain.com.xml
|
|
|
|
So, if your secret is 'johnny5' and your name is ben and your
|
|
domain is titanictoycorp.biz, your file should be called
|
|
johnny5ben@titanictoycorp.biz.xml
|
|
|
|
Finally, edit the file to point at your account on your social
|
|
site. If you are the only user, then you probably don't need to worry
|
|
about user/1 as this will be you. For multi user sites, the user ID is
|
|
on the profile page.
|
|
|
|
Finally
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Using this method, though fiddly, you can now be @user@domain without
|
|
the need for any prefixes for subdomains, etc.
