       prompt.

SYNOPSIS
       AUTH::wantcredential_prompt AUTH_ID

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the authorization session authidaXXs credential prompt string
       that the system last requested (when the system generated an
       AUTH_WANTCREDENTIAL event). An example of a promopt string is
       Username:. The AUTH::wantcredential_prompt command is especially
       helpful in providing authentication services to interactive protocols
       (for example, telnet and ftp), where the actual text prompts and
       responses may be directly communicated with the remote user.
