External RSS not working with sharepoint web part - sharepoint

Our application expose certain rss as
http://myservername/feeeds/feedid=110. This link works with with all browser and i am able to see rss.
But when i provide same URL to our sharepoint web part, it gives me error and not able to get headlines.

I would double check the security of the feed. If it requires any sort of authentication (windows, forms, etc.), it will fail in the normal SharePoint web part.

If your application is on the SharePoint server then you're probably running into the Loopback check, which prevents http access from the server to itself using an other name than the real servername.
If this is the case then you can see how to disable the loopback check in this kb

Webdav for Xpages and Domino only works giving anonymous full access rights

I have installed webdav for Domino and made the required changes in the webdavconfig.nsf.
If I give designer rights to anonymous users, I can access and update the word documuments in the database through Internet Explorer and MS Word, but if I change them back to no rights, i cant. Of course I want to edit them with my own credentials.
What am I doing wrong?
OS windows 10
URL which works anonymous (????? are hidden)
webdavs://dev.?????.nl/webdav/domino/eod.docx
https://dev.?????.nl/development/webdab.nsf
https://dev.?????.nl/webdav/domino/
Any help would be appreciated!
I wrote that application.
You are in the tricky land of authentication. Domino supports: Basic, FormBased, Cookie based (LTPA) SPENEGO and SAML. The later 3 need configuration work.
What happens when you use WebDAV is that no longer your browser, but a local library (belonging to Explorer or Office) talks to Domino.
You can "manually" try that using File - Open and paste the URL to the document (the one with https://, not webdavs://).
The only thing that happens with a webdavs:// url: a little helper checks, based on extension in the registry, what app is needed (Word, Excel, OpenOffice) and then calls that app with the https:// url as parameter. Like starting e.g. Excel from the command line:
excel.exe https://someserver/path/spreadshit.xls
By default Windows now uses NTLM or Kerberos authentication, neither of them supported by Domino (There used to be a proxy translating NTML to LTPA by a 3rd party). So no credential reaches Domino. Hence you need anonymous access rights.
For older versions of Windows I described what you need to do to get Basic Auth going.
Never came around to check what setting you would need on Windows 8 or 10 to allow basic auth there. Also, in theory, SAML or SPENEGO SSO might do the trick.
If you got Mac or Linux, you could check them first.
So the challenge isn't with the webDAV plugin as such, but in finding a common authentication ground between the OS and Domino. Hope that clarifies it a little.
Let us know how it goes!

Connect Microsoft SharePoint to Linux server

I am new to sharepoint and I created a web page in SharePoint. I want to make connectivity to this page with linux server. So that we can run some commnads from sharepoint (send that commnad to linux server and execute from there) and we can read from Linux server into SharePoint page.
Is it very complex? or can we write small script where we can pass the server name and userid/ password to connect Linux server. Any help will be highly appreciated.
There isn't much SharePoint specificity in this question, I think.
The button on your SharePoint page may perform one of the following client-side actions:
Add or set SRC attribute of an IFRAME on the page to display a resource from the Linux server to the user
Send an asynchronous AJAX request to a resource on the Linux server and process the result.
Depending on your needs, you could also implement some server-side communication with the Linux server, but that should be unnecessary in most scenarios.

Native Mobile App Secure Bridge to Hosted Content

I would greatly appreciate some help with the following problem.
I am attempting to build an app with HTML/CSS/JQM that I plan to wrap with PhoneGap to package as a native app for deployment on Android & iOS Platforms.
The app will be basically a form for users to input information which upon submit will be posted to an email using PHP on our web server. It is of the utmost importance that the information is encrypted between the user device and our web server.
I have planned to do this by having a single terms & conditions page packaged with the native app, with the 'accept' button loading the 'form' page on the web server.
I would like to make it impossible to access the hosted 'form' page via a web browser (i.e. the only way to access the page is via the native app).
What I would like to do is to have the native app automatically log in to the web server, so that the user does not have to go through a registration process.
I have considered using Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla as a solution but as there will only ever be a single html page, jquery, jqm and php form submission scripts on the server - this seems overcomplicated.
It is very important that the hosted files are unable to be hacked as the user information being submitted is of a sensitive nature (e.g. financial information). Also the connection between the native app and the host server must be SSL.
Would a .htaccess / .htpasswd restriction be the best way to go about this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Prevent browser to disclose user input

Is it possible to load a web page and then reliably and permanently prevent the browser (and the potentially hostile web page) to disclose any user input made on that page?
Cross browser?
Use case would be an online utility exposing some service on personal information. This utility will not need to make any server requests after it is loaded.
The following procedure explains the question, but is probably not sufficient nor efficient:
Load web page
Go offline
Interact with the web page
Close the page
Remove cookies
Clear web storage
Go online

Data not showing up in sharepoint list as well as in drop downs

hi
i have a problem at my production site, client reported that he is not seeing data in lists of sharepoint, as well drop downs which have years in pages of site appear empty with one user A on machin X having with windows 7. but data and comes up and drop downs are now populated when accessed from machine Y with same user A.
i dont knw wht really the problem is. As to development site this issue is not produced,
plz help,
thnks in advance
From your question, I gather the data does exist and the same user can see the information from one computer but not another.
A couple things spring to mind. (I am presuming usage of Internet Explorer since SharePoint 2007 has some rather weird rendering issues with other browsers. Correct me if this is an incorrect assumption.)
First, Windows 7 has later versions of IE which can refuse to send network credentials to a server it doesn't think is part of the intranet (corporate network). What makes this especially frustrating is that IE will prompt for network credentials (a result of the challenge from the website) but will not transmit those credentials. Examine the IIS logs to see if this is the case. The requests will be void of credentials using IE but will be present using Firefox (and presumably any other web browser). The fix for this is usually as simple as adding the domain into the Local Intranet zone in Internet Options.
If this is not the case, can you confirm the user is using the same credentials? Is this integrated authentication using Active Directory or forms authentication?
Are there any differences between the two computers with regards to how they reach the SharePoint site? (Such as one is VPN, the other is directly connected)? Or are they essentially equal but with different browser/OS configurations?
Are the lists standard out-of-the-box lists or have they been customized with SharePoint Designer or any other means? Are you injecting JavaScript via a Content Editor Web Part which might not be executing correctly?
It would be very helpful to know browser versions used, OS versions used, differences in connectivity to the resource from each machine, type of authentication used, and any other thing you can think to list.
I wish you luck in tracking this down!
Windows 7 or xp has nothing to do over here probably it has to do with the browser which he is using to browse the site ask him to chk the internet explorer settings and verify that he has enabled execution of javascript and other related things
