How can I add an authenticated confluence RSS feed to outlook
We authenticate on Confluence using Microsoft account with MFA.
How can I add an RSS feed to Outlook (or another RSS reader) ?
I tried both
https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/subscribe-to-pre-specified-rss-feeds/
and https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/build-an-rss-feed/ types of feed
I tried
* without authenication
* with me@mydomain:API token
* with the above base64 encoded
I tried
* Outlook
* Brave News
* curl
All fail
The result is either
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title>CKB and Training feed</title>
<link rel="alternate" href="https://xxxxx.atlassian.net/wiki" />
<subtitle>Confluence Syndication Feed</subtitle>
<id>https://xxxx.atlassian.net/wiki</id>
</feed>
```
or
```
<body><h1>HTTP Status 401 – Unauthorized</h1><hr class="line" /><p><b>Type</b> Status Report</p><p><b>Message</b> Basic Authentication Failure</p><p><b>Description</b> The request has not been applied because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the target resource.</p><hr class="line" /><h3>Apache Tomcat/9.0.75</h3></body>
```
The only time I see content from the RSS feed is when I open the feed URL in the browser where I'm logged on to Confluence.
