rssreader supports HTTP authentication. So what you have to do is to define a "read
password". Open a dos box, navigate to your elog directory, and enter

elogd -l <logbook> -r <password>

replace <logbook> with your real logbook name and <password> with any password. This
command modifies elogd.cfg and puts your password there in encrypted form.

Next, tell rssreader to use authentication and enter there your password
(authetication name does not matter). See the attachment. Rssreader will then be able
to connect properly to your logbook.
