I'm trying to develop a feed for an intranet document management system, so that staff can be notified of new documents. I have actually completed coding it, but there is no way to authenticate the user.

Also I'm not successful in adding the feed to news readers, but works with firefox Live Bookmark.

Any Ideas

Update:

Since I couldn't explain really well, I'll be specific I want it to work inside OutLook RSS Feeds.

Thanks
