RSS feed builder documentation does not cover feed authentication

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Using+the+RSS+Feed+Builder

      The doc is a bit unclear in general and could do with a cleanup. Specifically it needs to clarify:

      • A feed can either be anonymous or authenticated
      • If your server does not allow anonymous access, only authenticated feeds are offered
      • If your server allows anonymous access, the "feed permission" section will appear
      • If a feed is anonymous, you only get anonymously-viewable content in the feed regardless of whether you're a user or not

            I have added this information to the documentation, as a note. The note also reflects the fact that the "feed authentication" option is not available in the Confluence UI. See CONF-21601. I have verified this on CAC (Confluence 3.4.6) and in my local version of Confluence 3.5m4.
