[xwiki-users] Watchlist feature problem
Hi, Since changing the security setting of Xwiki-space i'm a bit in trouble... The goal was to secure the xwiki.{username}, since we need to protect the privacy of our users. So I revoked the permision of Guests to xwiki space. But since this I had problems, I can solve them one.by.one by granting read access of a specific page to guest or group Now the RSS FEED and notification of the watchlist does not work anymore, I do not get notifications of changed pages. How can I set a watchlist on a space? If somebody adds a page or modifies a page I would like to get notified Gerritjan

We had a similar problem when we secured our Wiki. The easy way around it is to use a modified RSS URL than the one you see on the user page, and add a query string basicAuth with a value of 1 to the URL. This will prompt the RSS reader to prompt for your user credentials and if your reader supports and you choose to do so - you can save the credentials. So if the generated RSS URL is something like: http://wiki.yourdomain.com/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/user?xpage=watchlistrss use: http://wiki.yourdomain.com/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/user?xpage=watchlistrss&basi... to access your RSS feeds.
