NAME

CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD - password to use for TLS authentication

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD, char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION

Deprecated option. It serves no purpose anymore.

Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should point to the null-terminated password to use for the TLS authentication method specified with the CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE(3) option. Requires that the CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME(3) option also be set.

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

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

This feature relies on TLS-SRP which does not work with TLS 1.3.

DEFAULT

NULL

DEPRECATED

This option was deprecated in 8.22.0.

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE, "SRP");
