Deferred until Swift. This limitation also affects the RSS dashlet since there 
is not yet a mechanism in Share to store a username and password securely in 
the dashlet configuration.

Fixed in v0.2/2.0. It is now possible to specify a Surf endpoint ID (e.g. 
'alfresco') plus a path to retrieve from that endpoint. For example, the 
'swsdp' site calendar may be specified using the following 'url'.

remote:alfresco/calendar/eventList-swsdp.ics?site=swsdp&format=calendar

System admins may set up custom Surf endpoints with authentication parameters 
if needed inside their share-config-custom.xml file. This add-on may then 
utilize these endpoints to access password-protected feeds from other servers.
