Detailed Description

The QAuthenticator class provides an authentication object.

Since: 4.3

\reentrant

\inmodule QtNetwork

The QAuthenticator class is usually used in the \l{QNetworkAccessManager::}{authenticationRequired()} and \l{QNetworkAccessManager::}{proxyAuthenticationRequired()} signals of QNetworkAccessManager 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: \list

Basic
NTLM version 2
Digest-MD5
SPNEGO/Negotiate \endlist
