This patch should obsolete the older patches resolving the same issue.

It's a simpler approach, storing the reason in a session context object which
is then picked up when sending AUTH_FAILED.  I had one more intrusive change,
which changed the internal APIs fairly much, an approach not even I didn't
really liked that much.  I don't think there were any other proposals on the
mailing list.

I don't know what the various GUIs does, but they should also now be able to
pick up these rejections via the management interface as well; even on 2.4.x
clients connecting to a server with this patch.
