So, it seems that ClientAuthentication() expects to raise ereport(FATAL) in case of authentication failures. But what's the code path that causes that to happen if a ereport(ERROR) happens in there? Because all that code is pretty careful to not do ereport(ERROR) directly and instead return STATUS_ERROR which makes ClientAuthentication do the FATAL report. If this doesn't matter, then isn't this whole code overly complicated for no reason?
