Description

It took a fair amount of digging to find that setting the "PreferredAuthentications" option for creating a session allows you to change the auth type. It was defaulting to Kerberos for me.

Scroll down to "User Authentication Methods" for all of the options.

Research direction

Start with the linked JSch Javadoc and read the “User Authentication Methods” section, focusing on the PreferredAuthentications option used when creating a session. Add documentation explaining how to change the authentication type and list the available options; the payload does not identify the repository file or documentation entry point.
