// authentication fails with that action's rejection message, if any.

// If the first pass rule evaluation matches nothing without matching an
// Action with Reject set, the rules are considered to see whether public
// keys might still result in a match. If not, "none" auth is terminated
// before proceeding to public key mode. If so, the client is asked to try
// public key authentication and the rules are evaluated again for each of
// the client's present keys.
