Public SharePoint RSS Feeds

-
Is there anyway of setting RSS feeds in SharePoint for public access, not requiring a username and password, but rather authenticating the user by a hashkey or something of the like? I am trying to find a way of allowing an app (such as Google Reader) to view SharePoint feeds but am getting nowhere with it. Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure if this will work since we do not allow public access, but:
- Go into Central Admin, Application Management, Authentication providers
- Click on the Zone that your public users will access
- Check the box "Enable anonymous access". (This only allows admins of sites to turn on anonymous access, it does not turn it on for the entire server.)
- Go to the site containing the feed you want to allow public access
- Go to Site Actions/Site Settings
- Go to Advanced Permissions
- Drop down the Settings menu and choose Anonymous Access
- Choose Lists and libraries, click OK
- Go to the list you want to give public RSS access
- Drop down the Settings menu and choose List Settings
- Click on Permissions for this list
- Drop down the Settings menu and choose Anonymous Access
- Check View Items and click OK
See if that does it.- Marked as answer by Xing-Bing Yu - MSFT Monday, September 29, 2008 1:00 AM
