The format of which is: [user name]:[password]. - -When using Kerberos V5 authentication with a Windows based server, you should -specify the user name part with 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 specify 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. - -When using HTTP and \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP, libcurl might perform -several requests to possibly different hosts. libcurl only sends this user and -password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless -\fICURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)\fP is set), so if libcurl follows redirects to -other hosts, it does not send the user and password to those. This is enforced -to prevent accidental information leakage. - -Use \fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3)\fP to specify the authentication method for HTTP -based connections or \fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP to control IMAP, POP3 and -SMTP options. - -The user and password strings are not URL decoded, so there is no way to send -in a user name containing a colon using this option. Use -\fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP for that, or include it in the URL. - -The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this -option. -.SH DEFAULT -NULL -.SH PROTOCOLS -Most -.SH EXAMPLE -.nf -CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); -if(curl) { - curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin"); - - curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "clark:kent"); - - ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); - - curl_easy_cleanup(curl); -} -.fi -.SH AVAILABILITY -Always -.SH RETURN VALUE -Returns CURLE_OK on success or -CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR CURLOPT_USERNAME (3), -.BR CURLOPT_PASSWORD (3), -.BR CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD (3) |
