Using MOSS 2007 This is the question - using the stock web part I get the following error "The RSS webpart does not support authenticated feeds" This essentially makes all blogs useless in other parts of the site. I do not want to enable Kerberos. I do not want to have to make any custom changes to enable what should be baked in. Is there a solution out there - from Microsoft or a third party?

Hi Nick Im having the same issues, its all in the same site collection, and I cant seem to get to the feed... Any news with yours? Regards Aj..

I thought the reason is the authentication Provider, the rss webpart is available when it's Kerberos. Maybe you can reference this url:http://blogs.msdn.com/markarend/archive/2006/10/03/RSS-Viewer-web-part-and-authenticated-feeds.aspx

I think the original poster stated that he did not want to turn on Kerberos and I imagine he has probably already seen the post you linked to. Has anyone found a solution to this without enabling Kerberos?

For you developers out there -an option for you is todownload my RSS Reader web part for free and edit the code. You can set the credentials of the WebRequest to something other than default credentials. Search for this line of code: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; I wrote this web part as an alternative to the RSS Viewer Web Part because not everbody has MOSS. Plus, it is open source so you can customize the look and feel, and it's behavior. Phil

Thanks Phil, I'll take a look at your web part.

Phil - Thanks for the tip - I will take a look at that once I put out a few fires Best, nick

Your web part worked for us. Just replaced line of code: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; with: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;and the Web Part could read the blog for authenticated users.

Hi Phil,How do you change the line of code? as I want to do the same as KellyFord: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; with: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;Tony

@KelllyFord / @pwicklund - where do we edit: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache .DefaultCredentials; with: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache .DefaultNetworkCredentials; Please respond

I too would like to know how you go about modifying this entry since I'm not a developer and have never done this before. You're help is appreciated.

What file do I search to find the Search for this line of code: xmlReq.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; I am not a developer, so any assistance will be helpful. Do I need the source code?

Has anyone actually found out where to edit that line?

Phil, I'm looking for a solution to this issue for a 2010 Farm where Kerberos is not being used. Will your web part work for Sharepoint 2010 or can you recommend an alternative? We're happy to pay for something if needed. Your advice would be much appreciated, PaulPaul

Hey Phil, m unable to download your webpart @ http://philwicklund.com/freeware/rssreader/default.aspx. That site might not be working. Akshya
