proposal for msva to have a third return value
Currently the msva returns only two values when being queried about a key: valid or not valid. I propose that msva also return a third value which indicates that there are no certificates on record pertaining to the context/peer in question.
I think this third return value is useful under certain circumstances where the querying entity might need to fall through to another authentication mechanism, e.g. in the ssh proxycommand (#2570). This is easy enough to do with the client, which could return these three return values:
- 0 = valid
- 1 = not valid
- 2 = no record
