# NAME
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_USERNAME - username to use in authentication
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERNAME,
|
|
char *username);
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the
|
|
null-terminated username to use for the transfer.
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) sets the username to be used in protocol
|
|
authentication. You should not use this option together with the (older)
|
|
CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) 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 do not then the initial part of the authentication
|
|
handshake may fail.
|
|
|
|
When using NTLM, the username can be specified simply as the username 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 username, use the
|
|
CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) and CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3) options.
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
