int get_auth_method (uint ** authm)
This method returns the authentication methods currently configured in the order in which they should be attempted in the unsigned integer pointer the user passed in.
The list in the unsigned integer pointer is either NULL (on an error) or is an array of unsigned integers terminated by a zero. Each integer identifies an authentication method. The order that a client should attempt to authenticate is defined by the order of the list.
The flags identifying the authentication methods are defined in the /usr/include/authm.h file.
