documentation request: Using the plugin: how does it authenticate? #32

Open dpocock opened 3 years ago

Pull request #29 adds a section on how to use Thunderbird with the plugin

Thunderbird / Lightning can authenticate with user and password when a webcal server uses HTTP authentication.

Redmine is using form-based authentication

Therefore, how can Thunderbird login to access the webcal feed?

Is the feed only accessible if there is a public/anonymous user?

Or does access to the webcal feed bypass normal authentication and allow any client to have read access for any user's tickets?
