AFAIK it's just x-auth. I'm not sure what the 'hybrid' method is, never used
it. However the 'xauth' method is a default parameter in the
'DefaultRAGroup' tunnel-group and tells the ASA to authenticate users via
extended auth after group authentication completes. Changing the method to
'none' would log a user in as soon as the group id and PSK match.
I suspect that the hybrid method has something to do with xauth based on
certificate values, just a guess however.
