CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL(3)

CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL3

Ftp kerberos security level

Usage

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL, char *level);

Overview

Pass a char pointer as parameter. Set the kerberos security level for FTP; this also enables kerberos awareness. This is a string that should match one of the following: &'clear', &'safe', &'confidential' or &'private'. If the string is set but does not match one of these, 'private' is used. Set the string to NULL to disable kerberos support for FTP.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

Default

NULL

Protocols

FTP

Examples

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL, "private");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

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.
