Help: Server user and password
|
|
---
|
|
Specify the user name and password to use for server authentication. Overrides
|
|
--netrc and --netrc-optional.
|
|
|
|
If you simply specify the user name, curl will prompt for a password.
|
|
|
|
The user name and passwords are split up on the first colon, which makes it
|
|
impossible to use a colon in the user name with this option. The password can,
|
|
still.
|
|
|
|
When using Kerberos V5 with a Windows based server you should include the
|
|
Windows domain name in the user name, in order for the server to successfully
|
|
obtain a Kerberos Ticket. If you don't then the initial authentication
|
|
handshake may fail.
|
|
|
|
When using NTLM, the user name can be specified simply as the user name,
|
|
without the domain, if there is a single domain and forest in your setup
|
|
for example.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and perform Kerberos V5,
|
|
Negotiate, NTLM or Digest 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 :".
|
|
|
|
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
