auth function

Authentication

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")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "digest")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "ntlm")
auth(user = "foo", pwd = "bar", auth = "any")

# gssnegotiate auth
auth(NULL, NULL, "gssnegotiate")
