 Hi Gomat,

Could you elaborate further on what you mean when you say you are not able to register the RSS feed.

Presto allows registration of authenticated services including RSS feeds.

When you register such a service you need to select the appropriate option from the Security Profile drop down in the registration dialog.

More details here http://www.jackbe.com/prestodocs/v3.0/services/publishFeeds.html#help.publish.rss

Are you getting an error after registration in this manner?

I am using the cloud version of alfresco content management system.I  use a RSS feed from this content management system.When i  paste the  url  in the browser the  server at alfresco  will  ask  for a user name and password will ask  me for a user name and password. And when  i give that the feed opens. When i try  to  register it in presto there is an  error stating "error while registering the feed". What is the authentication i  should try  here. i tried all authentication.Am i missing out something?  Please  help  me in this  regard.

What kind of authentication Alfresco is using ? When it prompt you to enter id/password, does it use HTTP Basic Auth, or it is some custom form they are using ?

If it is Basic Auth, then we have a SecurityProfile out of the box which should handle it. If it is some custom authN mechanism you can develop and register "Security profile for Alfresco", provided that Alfresco give you and  Authentication API to programatically login.
