CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE - Man Page
TLS authentication methods
Synopsis
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE, char *type);
Description
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. The string should be the method of the TLS authentication. Supported method is "SRP".
- SRP
TLS-SRP authentication. Secure Remote Password authentication for TLS is defined in RFC 5054 and provides mutual authentication if both sides have a shared secret. To use TLS-SRP, you must also set the CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME(3) and CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD(3) options.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
TLS SRP does not work with TLS 1.3.
Default
blank
Protocols
All TLS-based protocols
Example
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE, "SRP"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME, "user"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD, "secret"); ret = curl_easy_perform(curl); curl_easy_cleanup(curl); }
Availability
You need to build libcurl with GnuTLS or OpenSSL with TLS-SRP support for this to work. Added in 7.21.4
Return Value
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
