For those of you who want to subscribe to secure podcasts (like ones created for corporate employees behind SSL-secured web sites that are locked behind Windows authenticated credentials, you’re in luck!
Zune’s Desktop Client v3.0 now enables you to “Add a Podcast” then provide credentials for a persistent on-going subscription to the podcast.
Simply go into the Zune 3.0 desktop client software and add the podcast. When you do so, the client software recognizes when the the link requires a username and password and the dialog box to the right will appear allowing you to enter in and if you choose, cache you credentials for future RSS subscription downloads.
Wheee! Podcasting for corporate types! Now onward and upward to the Podcasting Kit for Sharepoint!
