Managing RSS Settings


RSS is the latest method of content delivery. With the help of the RSS Settings link, you can manage RSS-related settings associated with your site.

Enable Secure Syndication

If this is enabled, Community Server will create a unique URL per feed to enable registered users to view feeds securely. These feeds are not accessible for anonymous users. This setting is enabled by default.

Enable RSS Search

If this is enabled, users are allowed to create syndicated feeds that contain the results of a search. This setting is enabled by default.
