Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a single highly unscientific poll on twitter). Reported-by: coinhubs on github Fixes #5598 Closes #5608

.TH CURLOPT_USERPWD 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_USERPWD \- user name and password to use in authentication
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, char *userpwd);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a null-terminated login details string
|
|
for the connection. 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.
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
