.TH CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS 3 "19 Jun 2014" libcurl libcurl
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS \- login options
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS, char *options);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-terminated
\fIoptions\fP string to use for the transfer.
For more information about the login options please see RFC 2384, RFC 5092 and
the IETF draft \fBdraft-earhart-url-smtp-00.txt\fP.
\fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP can be used to set protocol specific login
options, such as the preferred authentication mechanism via "AUTH=NTLM" or
"AUTH=*", and should be used in conjunction with the \fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP
option.
Since 8.2.0, IMAP supports the login option "AUTH=+LOGIN". With this option,
curl uses the plain (not SASL) LOGIN IMAP command even if the server advertises
SASL authentication. Care should be taken in using this option, as it will send
out your password in plain text. This will not work if the IMAP server disables
the plain LOGIN (e.g. to prevent password snooping).
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
.SH PROTOCOLS
Only IMAP, LDAP, POP3 and SMTP support login options.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS, "AUTH=*");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.34.0. Support for OpenLDAP added in 7.82.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
