If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and do either Negotiate or NTLM
|
|
|
|
|
authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password
|
|
|
|
|
from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-U :".

On systems where it works, curl will hide the given option argument from
|
|
|
|
|
process listings. This is not enough to protect credentials from possibly
|
|
|
|
|
getting seen by other users on the same system as they will still be visible
|
|
|
|
|
for a brief moment before cleared. Such sensitive data should be retrieved
|
|
|
|
|
from a file instead or similar and never used in clear text in a command line.

If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
