Supported Web URLs also with other protocols

Discussion/Misc
1

Hi all,
I have a Web URL with the protocol “rdm://”. This opens a remote session entry in our tool Remote Desktop Manager (RDM from devolutions).
Now I want to insert this link into our Wiki, so that I have a fast access to the needed server. Unfortunately it’s not possible to insert this link, because only https:// is supported. Can we change this?

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,
url protocols are managed by a MediaWiki mechanism documented in Manual:$wgUrlProtocols - MediaWiki, where in your case you can add the following line to the end of your LocalSettings.php:

$wgUrlProtocols = array_merge($wgUrlProtocols, array('rdm://'));

If you are using an installation running on docker containers, there is not a real LocalSettings.php used. In that case, you might want to access the host machine for the containers, find <your-bluespice-data-directory>/wiki/bluespice/post-init-settings.php and add that line.
Best regards,
Hua

Hi Hua,
thanks for your response. It makes me glad to see, that this is possible in principle.
How can I add this line, if I work with a cloud instance?

When I navigate to /wiki/bluespice/post-init-settings.php it says “403 Forbidden ngix”.

Hi Jonathan,
you will need access to the server backend in this case (frontend access is not sufficient). If you do not have direct access to your BlueSpice server, please consult your server provider to see how they can help you = )
Best regards,
