    Detailed Description

    Instances of this type represent an authentication challenge that was raised because a security error was encountered while trying to access a secured network resource. You can connect to the AuthenticationManager::authenticationChallenge signal in order to handle challenges raised from security errors.

    To satisfy the challenge, you need to do one of the following:

    • Invoke continueWithCredential() with a valid credential. The task that issued the challenge will try to connect to the resource with this credential.
    • Invoke continueWithUsernamePassword() with a valid username and password which is applied to the credential to continue with the request.
    • Invoke continueWithOAuthAuthorizationCode() with a valid OAuth authorization code which is applied to the credential to continue to authenticate using OAuth.
    • Invoke continueWithClientCertificate() with the index of the client certificate to use, obtained from AuthenticationManager::clientCertificateInfos which is applied to the credential to continue with the request.
    • Invoke continueWithSslHandshake() if the challenge was due to an SSL error, such as an untrusted server certificate, and you want to either trust of reject the network request.
    • Invoke cancel() to cancel the challenge. The task that issued the challenge will fail to connect to the resource and should emit an error signal.

    Property Documentation

    [read-only] authenticatingHost : url

    Returns the host server of the network resource being accessed (read-only).

    This is useful to display to a user when prompting them for a credential when a resource fails to load.


    [read-only] authenticationChallengeType : Enums.AuthenticationChallengeType

    Returns the Enums.AuthenticationChallengeType of this authentication challenge (read-only).

    This is useful for displaying a user interface to the user for a credential when a resource fails to load.


    [read-only] authorizationUrl : url

    Returns the OAuth authorization URL to access to obtain an authorization code (read-only).

    This property is only populated when the challenge type is Enums.AuthenticationChallengeTypeOAuth for OAuth user authentication.


    [read-only] error : Error

    Returns the underlying security error that led to this authentication challenge (read-only).


    [read-only] failureCount : int

    Returns the number of times this particular challenge has failed (read-only).


    [read-only] proposedCredential : Credential

    Returns the credential that is currently being used to access a secured resource (read-only).

    This could be a pre-configured credential with limited properties already defined for you. This credential can be used to specify the identity through a username/password, or token, and then call continueWithCredential.


    [read-only] requestUrl : url

    Returns the URL being accessed that led to this authentication challenge (read-only).


    [read-only] sslErrors : list<string>

    Returns a list of SSL error strings when a Enums.AuthenticationChallengeTypeSslHandshake error has occurred (read-only).

    This property is only populated when the challenge type is Enums.AuthenticationChallengeTypeSslHandshake indicating that an SSL error occurred when attempting to access a secured resource.

    Inspect these errors or prompt the end user to determine if the request should continue and ignore these errors.


    Method Documentation

    void cancel()

    Cancels the operation that led to the authentication challenge.

    The resource will fail to load and should emit an error signal.


    void cancelWithError(title, html)

    Cancels the operation that led to the authentication challenge.

    This function can be called when the authentication uses an access delegation, based on WebView, like OAuth or SAML. The argument of the function are the title and the html content of the WebView. These arguments are parsed to determine the authentication error.

    The resource will fail to load and should emit an error signal.

    This function is invokable from QML.


    void continueWithClientCertificate(int clientCertificateIndex)

    Attempts to continue with the network transaction with the provided clientCertificateIndex.

    This will obtain a client certificate from AuthenticationManager::clientCertificateInfos which is then applied to the proposed credential to continue with the request.


    void continueWithCredential(Credential credential)

    Attempts to continue with the network transaction with the provided credential.

    Continuing with a null credential will cause the resource to fail to load.


    void continueWithOAuthAuthorizationCode(string oAuthAuthorizationCode)

    Attempts to continue with the network transaction with the provided oAuthAuthorizationCode.

    This will populate the proposed credential with the OAuth authorization code to continue with the request.


    void continueWithSslHandshake(bool trust, bool remember)

    Attempts to continue with the network transaction specifying whether to trust the host and remember for future requests.

    If requested to remember to trust, or not trust, a specific host, a challenge will not be issued for this host again for the application session.


    void continueWithUsernamePassword(string username, string password)

    Attempts to continue with the network transaction with the provided username and password.

    This will populate the proposed credential with username and password to continue with the request.
