Detailed Description
The QAuthenticator class provides an authentication object.
The QAuthenticator class is usually used in the authenticationRequired() and proxyAuthenticationRequired() signals of QHttp and QAbstractSocket. The class provides a way to pass back the required authentication information to the socket when accessing services that require authentication.
QAuthenticator supports the following authentication methods:
- Basic
- NTLM version 1
- Digest-MD5
Note that, in particular, NTLM version 2 is not supported.
See also QSslSocket.
