-.TH CURLOPT_USERNAME 3 "19 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
-.SH NAME
-CURLOPT_USERNAME \- user name to use in authentication
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-#include <curl/curl.h>
-
-CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERNAME,
- char *username);
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-terminated
-user name to use for the transfer.
-
-\fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP sets the user name to be used in protocol
-authentication. You should not use this option together with the (older)
-\fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP option.
-
-When using Kerberos V5 authentication with a Windows based server, you should
-include the domain name in order for the server to successfully obtain a
-Kerberos Ticket. If you do not then the initial part of the authentication
-handshake may fail.
-
-When using NTLM, the user name can be specified simply as the user name
-without the domain name should the server be part of a single domain and
-forest.
-
-To include the domain name use either Down-Level Logon Name or UPN (User
-Principal Name) formats. For example, EXAMPLE\\user and user@example.com
-respectively.
-
-Some HTTP servers (on Windows) support inclusion of the domain for Basic
-authentication as well.
-
-To specify the password and login options, along with the user name, use the
-\fICURLOPT_PASSWORD(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP options.
-
-The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
-option.
-.SH DEFAULT
-blank
