RSS Feed w/ Lotus Notes


Atit Patel (161) | asked Jan 14 '10, 9:06 a.m.
Has anyone tried importing RSS feed from RTC into Lotus Notes? I get an error which says "Unable to parse feed from myserver.domain.com".

If there is any documentation I will gladly take it.

The feed is likely protected with form based authentication. Most
external feed readers will not support this kind of authentication.

So is there a feature request open for this? What is the proper way to subscribe to an RSS in Lotus Notes? Is the fix in Lotus Notes or in RTC?

You can configure the server to have basic authentication for feeds.
This should allow to read them with external readers.

Just to close the loop on this, configuring RTC for basic auth is documented here:
http://jazz.net/library/techtip/75
but basically comment this:

<login>
<auth>FORM</auth>
<form>
<form>/auth/authrequired</form>
<form>/auth/authfailed</form>
</form>
</login>



uncomment this:


<login>
<realm>RealmName</realm>
<auth>BASIC</auth>
</login>

in jazz.war web.xml



After these modification, I'm able to view RSS feeds in lotus notes
