NAME
CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION - allowed GSS-API delegation
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION, long level);
DESCRIPTION
Set the long parameter level to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_FLAG to allow un-
conditional GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled by
default since 7.21.7. Set the parameter to CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POL-
ICY_FLAG to delegate only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the ser-
vice ticket in case this feature is supported by the GSS-API implementa-
tion and the definition of GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG was available at com-
pile-time.
DEFAULT
CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_NONE

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION,
(long)CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG);
