I have written a MFT utility for the IBM i using all native methods.

I have provided the option of either ssh key or password authentication but
not both.

Have a customer that has a need for both to happen.

When I allow password, I noticed I'm spawning with -o
PreferredAuthentications=password

I looked everywhere and could not find any documentation for this.
does anyone know the different options for -o PreferredAuthentications= ?
