CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION explained

Name

CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION - allowed GSS-API delegation

Synopsis

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

Description

Set the long parameter level to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_FLAG to allow unconditional GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled by default since 7.21.7. Set the parameter to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG to delegate only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the service ticket in case this feature is supported by the GSS-API implementation and the definition of GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG was available at compile-time.

Default

CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_NONE

Protocols

This functionality affects http only

Example

 int main(void) {   CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();   if(curl) {   CURLcode result;   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");   /* delegate if okayed by policy */   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION,   CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG);   result = curl_easy_perform(curl);   } }

History

CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_* macros became long types in 8.16.0, prior to this version a long cast was necessary when passed to curl_easy_setopt.

Availability

Added in curl 7.22.0

Return value

curl_easy_setopt returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors.
