Receiving Operator Messages on your Desktop
If you do not want to keep a browser window open to monitor the operator messages, you can subscribe to an RSS feed using a RSS feed plugin or application.
Security Settings
The feed can have one of the following security settings:
- Viewable to all
- require a single password
- require a valid user name and password for the application server
The security settings can be configured in the Redwood Server registry using the registry entry:
/configuration/feed/feeds/operator_message/password
- Not present - if the key is not present, there is no password and anyone can access the feed without a password
<disabled>- the feed is disabled<login-only>- the feed is only accessible with a valid username and password- any other value - any other value represents the password.
note
The <> are part of the value, and not place holders. The following passwords are not allowed: <disabled> and <login-only>.
Prerequisites
- The full URL to the central Redwood Server system
- Depending on the security settings
- the rss feed password
- login credentials for the central Redwood Server system
