Authentication

Usage

auth(user, pwd, auth = "basic")

Arguments

user

(character) username, required. see Details.

pwd

(character) password, required. see Details.

auth

(character) authentication type, one of basic (default), digest, digest_ie, gssnegotiate, ntlm, or any. required

Details

Only supporting simple auth for now, OAuth later maybe.

For user and pwd you are required to pass in some value. The value can be NULL to - which is equivalent to passing in an empty string like "" in httr::authenticate. You may want to pass in NULL for both user and pwd for example if you are using gssnegotiate auth type. See example below.

Examples

auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "basic")
#> $userpwd
#> [1] "foo:bar"
#> 
#> $httpauth
#> [1] 1
#> 
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "auth"
#> attr(,"type")
#> [1] "basic"
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "digest")
#> $userpwd
#> [1] "foo:bar"
#> 
#> $httpauth
#> [1] 2
#> 
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "auth"
#> attr(,"type")
