Hi,
Is there a way to subscribe to RSS feed in a totally protected XWiki (only log-in page described to anonymous)? E.g. with MS Outlook? I used common feed list approach described here http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/01/23/a-screencast-about-common-feeds-in-vista... I'm able to see items when the feed is imported to outlook the first time, but then I do not get the updates. And here's http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/03/27/authenticated-rss-feeds/ where I found people discussing subscription to a password protected feed.

Other than configuring the feed reader to use a certain username and password, you must also alter a bit the RSS URL by appending &basicauth=1 as a query string parameter. For example, for the blog feed, use: http://xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain&basicauth=1 instead of: http://xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Blog/GlobalBlogRss?xpage=plain Does this solve your problem? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
