authentication. You should not use this option together with the (older)
\fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP option.
When using Kerberos V5 authentication with a Windows based server, you should
include the domain name in order for the server to successfully obtain a
Kerberos Ticket. If you don't then the initial part of the authentication
handshake may fail.
When using NTLM, the user name can be specified simply as the user name
without the domain name should the server be part of a single domain and
forest.
To include the domain name use either Down-Level Logon Name or UPN (User
Principal Name) formats. For example, EXAMPLE\user and user@example.com
respectively.
Some HTTP servers (on Windows) support inclusion of the domain for Basic
authentication as well.
To specify the password and login options, along with the user name, use the
\fICURLOPT_PASSWORD(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP options.
