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.
