Hello, I'm working on [adding support](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/pull/401) for 3.3 bits in pyzmq, and I'm testing the authentication mechanisms. I translated the [security test]( https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/tests/test_security.cpp) to Python and it ran just fine. However, when I checked to confirm that it actually did something, I changed the password to be incorrect - and the test *still* ran fine. This means that ZMQ_PLAIN authentication actually has no effect, and failed authentication doesn't result in any errors, and messages still send and receive as normal. I made the same changes to the C test with the same result: **failed authentication has no consequence**. I confirmed that `receive_and_process_zap_reply` is indeed returning `rc=-1` and setting `errno=EACCES`, but this does not seem to have any effect on the behavior of the sockets.
I assume this is not intended. Is the implementation supposed to be complete at this point? And what precisely should be the effect of a failed authentication (i.e. which calls should raise, block, etc.). Thanks, -MinRK
