<challenge>

Usage

Description

Request the password associated with an account during authentication with a client application that uses the clear-text or SSL access protocol. The Junos XML protocol server emits this tag element when the initial <request-login> tag element emitted by the client application does not enclose a <challenge-response> tag element, and when the password enclosed in a <challenge-response> tag element is incorrect (in the latter case, the server also emits an <authentication-response> tag element enclosing child tag elements that indicate the password is incorrect).

The tag element encloses the string Password: which the client application can forward to the screen as a prompt for a user.

Attributes

echo

Specifies whether the password string typed by the user appears on the screen. The value "no" specifies that it does not.
