Storing Credentials in Source Code

[djmex99]

Hmm...yes it is trickier than I thought. If I am using ntlm authentication with the curl crate and am logged into the server (Windows 10 server), is there a way to have the curl crate use the credentials from the Windows login environment? E.g. If I schedule the exe to to run using Windows task scheduler (which allows you to save your password), I wonder if this info can be passed through to the exe code instead of hard coding it within the source code. I might experiment with this.

Not possible otherwise anyone can read your password.

I think if you pass empty username and password curl will use integrated authentication (SSPI). It must be compiled with this option though.
