Standalone (autentication plugin)

Certbot relies on plugins to perform authentication and installation. Plugins such as webroot and standalone only perform authentication, while others such as the Apache and Nginx plugins are designed to automatically obtain and install certificates (i.e. web server configuration). Other plugins include several vendor-specific DNS plugins for DNS-01 authentication. Most certbot plugins are installed separately, except the webroot and standalone plugins which are built-in.
