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(3).

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.22.0

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
