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 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 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 will only send this user +and password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless +\fICURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)\fP is set), so if libcurl follows locations to +other hosts it will 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's 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. +.SH DEFAULT +NULL +.SH PROTOCOLS +Most +.SH EXAMPLE +TODO +.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), " CURLOPT_PASSWORD "(3), " |
