SYNOPSIS
       AUTH::wantcredential_prompt_style AUTH_ID

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the authorization session authidaXXs credential prompt style
       that the system last requested (when the system generated an
       AUTH_WANTCREDENTIAL event). The value of the  argument is
       either echo_on, echo_off, or unknown. This command is especially
       helpful in providing authentication services to interactive protocols
       (or example, telnet and ftp), where the actual text prompts and
       responses may be directly communicated with the remote user.
