Q: 

DotNetNuke: News Feeds (RSS) module seems to *require* hard coded authentication?

We've got a DotNetNuke 5 based website that uses the ActiveForum module to allow for a forum to exist.

I'd like to show an RSS feed from the forum on another page. So I find the link to the ActiveForum RSS feed, add a News Feeds (RSS) module to the page and then add a feed to the RSS.

This then gives me an error saying it can't load the feed.

However if I then edit the feed details in the News Feeds (RSS) module so that I'm explictly setting my username/password the feed is retrieved with, then it loads.

So it seems to boil down to the built in News Feeds (RSS) module requiring that if NT Authentication is enabled on the web server, that you must hard code your username/password

Is there a way for it to use the same authentication as the rest of the page? Or is there a better module that doesn't have this strange behaviour?
