Property name	glide.basicauth.required.rss
Configuration type	System Properties (/sys_properties_list.do)
Configure in Instance Security Center	Yes
Purpose	To enforce basic authentication on RSS requests.
Recommended value	true
Functional Impact	This remediation enforces a combination of authentication methods, in the form of basic authentication and system level access control. It performs this authentication while processing RSS requests on the instance. It restricts any guest users who are currently accessing this data. If applicable, you may need to create a new account for users who need access to this content, with necessary access control permissions. To learn more, see RSS feed generator.
Security risk	(Medium) Without appropriate authorization configured on the incoming RSS requests, an unauthorized user can get access to sensitive content/data on the target instance.
