Token Authentication for RSS Feeds
I am setting up a site that has both public and private content sides. I want to use RSS to feed updates on both sides to my authenticated users.
I am using taxonomy to accomplish this by setting every page on the public and private side to the same taxonomy. The issue I am having is that unless the user is logged in they cannot see the private content in the RSS taxonomy feed.
I have installed the module Token Authentication. I set the permissions so that anonomous and authenticated users can both access it. In Site Configuration - Token Authentication has the settings for "rss.xml */feed */opml */". I take this to mean that any URL ending with /feed should how accept tokens.
The URL format that I am using is:
http://www.example.com/taxonomy/term/1/0/feed?token=0123456789
Again, this works when I am already logged in (like in another tab in my browser) but if I log out it only shows public content.
Any help would be greatly apprectiated!!!!!!

P.S. I also installed the module Token even though it is not listed as a depend module but that did not fix the problem.

I'm not sure I understand the issue-- it's functioning as designed. Only public content is shown to anonymous users ('the public'). If you want anonymous users to see something, you need to make it public-- that's the entire point.

I thought the point of the "Token Authentication" is that a user, who is not logged in, could use their token to view "private" content.

i could be wrong, but afaik, the token merely authenticates the anonymous user as another user-- that other user still needs to have permission to access the content.

All of the users on my site
All of the users on my site have access to all of the private content. So they would be using the token to access the private content. Is that not what the module is for?
Is anyone using the Token
Is anyone using the Token Authentication module like this?
I am still having no luck
I am still having no luck with this. I am going to try to search through the logs to see if there is any indication as to why it is not working. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I should be looking for specifically?
Thanks Again!

For me, it works - kind of
Using Drupal 6.14 . Views 6.x-2.7 and Token Authentication 6.x-1.3
I just read the README.txt file in the module's directory and used the token displayed under the "Token Authentication" tab in the user account stuff. I also had to adjust permissions to make this tab available to the users.
Using this, I can access a views-provided RSS feed that is role-restricted without problems (using liferead, a basic RSS reader from my debian disitribution), no matter if I am logged in on the system or not. I also have access to the full text of the documents, if I select a heading from the feed summary display.
Now, if I'm using a web browser with the same URL (with the ?token=xxx string appended), the browser recognizes the feed and lists the headings, but fails (403 access denied) to display the text of the document.
To me, it looks like the dumb RSS reader is damn clever, and the browser (iceweasel/firefox) has a problem.
Cheers !
