From 4dbe66464b4fd695c5989cc272fa0edd6475037c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "brian m. carlson" Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 00:29:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] remote-curl: fall back to Basic auth if Negotiate fails Apache servers using mod_auth_kerb can be configured to allow the user to authenticate either using Negotiate (using the Kerberos ticket) or Basic authentication (using the Kerberos password). Often, one will want to use Negotiate authentication if it is available, but fall back to Basic authentication if the ticket is missing or expired. However, libcurl will try very hard to use something other than Basic auth, even over HTTPS. If Basic and something else are offered, libcurl will never attempt to use Basic, even if the other option fails. Teach the HTTP client code to stop trying authentication mechanisms that don't use a password (currently Negotiate) after the first failure, since if they failed the first time, they will never succeed.
