.SH NAME
CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME \- user name to use for TLS authentication
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME, char *user);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should point to the null\-terminated
username to use for the TLS authentication method specified with the
\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE(3)\fP option. Requires that the
\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD(3)\fP option also be set.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.

This feature relies in TLS SRP which does not work with TLS 1.3.
