[xwiki-users] Subscribe to RSS feed inpassword-protected wiki
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/
It did thus far, at least when pressing send/receive I can now see the updates.

Hi Sergiu, For about a month, I have been happily getting watchlist updates from a private RSS feed by appending &basicauth=1. My feed URL is in the following format: http://subdomain.domain.com:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/WatchListRss?xpage=pla... Sometime this week, it suddenly stopped working. I deleted the feed and tried to re-create it, but each time, I get the error "Outlook cannot process the RSS content from [feed URL]. The link may not point to a valid RSS source." I am using Outlook 2010 for RSS feeds and Internet Explorer 9 for browsing. (I cannot change these tools; they are our corporate standards.) We are currently running XWIKI 4.2 milestone 1. Do you have any ideas about why basic authentication might *suddenly* stop working -- or only work intermittently? Thanks!

I'm not sure it's the auth part that's broken. Try to open the URL in a browser and then validate its output, for example using http://validator.w3.org/appc/#validate_by_input -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

However, RSS feeds ARE still working on our two *development* instances (not production); and those URLs do not validate either. I am checking with my the server administrators; they might have changed a security setting, or something like that, on the production server.

After further testing, I believe we're having trouble on the instances where LDAP authentication is enabled. In the instances where we are using local users, private RSS feeds are working. Do you have any advice? Thanks, Lisa -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Subscribe-to-RSS-feed-in-password-protecte...
