Feeds and RSS Readers

Hi

I tried to use my Thunderbird client to read feeds from my Jazz server
by copying the URL directly Thunderbird's RSS definition. It wasn't very
successful.

Perhaps I'm not doing this correctly, so ...

How should I configure any of the common RSS clients to read feeds from
my Jazz server ? My apologies if this is documented somewhere and I've
just missed it.

(BTW: Thunderbird did a better job reading feeds from the Jazz.net website.)

Hi,

I'm also unable to add RSS feeds from RTC to Thunderbird. I guess that the reason is described in the followin Work Item:
https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=36935

kind regards,
Jakub

Hi

Unlike Notes 8, Thunderbird can do authentication. So I'm wondering why
I see only ...

...followed by a bunch of XML !

If you using form based auth then Feed Readers are not going to be able
to authenticate correctly. You can turn on basic auth by changing the
web.xml for the WAR.

<!--
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
</login-config>
-->
<login-config>
<auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/auth/authrequired</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/auth/authfailed</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
</login-config>

Uncomment the first section and comment the second one.

We are aware of the issues with Feeds and form based auth and are
working on a solution.
