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 don't 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 +.SH PROTOCOLS +Most +.SH EXAMPLE +.nf +CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); +if(curl) { + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/foo.bin"); + + curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, "clark"); + + ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); + + curl_easy_cleanup(curl); +} +.fi +.SH AVAILABILITY +Added in 7.19.1 +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or +CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_USERPWD "(3), " CURLOPT_PASSWORD "(3), " +.BR CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH "(3), " CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH "(3)" |
