(Keyword: auth[enticate]) This option permits you to specify an authentication type (see USER AUTHENTICATION below for details). The possible values are \fBany\fR, -\&'\fBpassword\fR', '\fBkerberos_v5\fR' and '\fBkerberos\fR' (or, for -excruciating exactness, '\fBkerberos_v4\fR'), \fRgssapi\fR, -\fIcram-md5\fR, \fIotp\fR, \fIntlm\fR, and \fBssh\fR.

When \fBany\fR (the default) is specified, fetchmail tries first methods that don't require a password (GSSAPI, KERBEROS_IV); then it looks for methods that mask your password (CRAM-MD5, X-OTP, NTLM); and only if the server doesn't support any of those will it ship your password en clair. Other values may be used to force various authentication methods (\fBssh\fR suppresses authentication). Any value other than -\fIpassword\fR, \fIcram-md5\fR, \fIntlm\fR or \fIotp\fR suppresses fetchmail's -normal inquiry for a password. Specify \fIssh\fR when you are using +\&\fBpassword\fR, \fBcram-md5\fR, \fBntlm\fR or \fBotp\fR suppresses fetchmail's +normal inquiry for a password. Specify \fBssh\fR when you are using an end-to-end secure connection such as an ssh tunnel; specify -\fRgssapi\fR or \fBkerberos_v4\fR if you are using a protocol variant +\fBgssapi\fR or \fBkerberos_v4\fR if you are using a protocol variant that employs GSSAPI or K4. Choosing KPOP protocol automatically selects Kerberos authentication. This option does not work with ETRN. .SS Miscellaneous Options |
