I have a medical-related site where the access to all members is password protected. I would like forum topic RSS feeds to be accessible to all however they will not load appropriately (ie get message in RSS reader such as "bookmark failed to load") unless you are logged-on to the site.

Any way to work around this issue? Is there any way to make RSS feeds NOT protected or is there a reader available to take into account password-protected sites?

Thanks

Are you using a node access module (like OG or Forum Access) or HTTP authentication?

Is there any way to make RSS feeds NOT protected or is there a reader available to take into account password-protected sites?

To answer the first question, you can use the Atom module to share your RSS feeds from a node access-controlled site. Note that this is a bug, as the Atom module doesn't respect node access at the moment.

Meanwhile, you can offer RSS feeds on password-protected sites with tokenauth module. tokenauth is a real winner.

Not using OG or Forum Access, will try tokenauth though. Thanks
