Description
>* Per group or per user configurations

>methods that are provided in OpenSSH and Solaris Secure Shell, the
>commercial SSH products provide a system config file that allows
>definitions of configurations/authentication methods on a per user or
>per group (or per IP address?) basis.  Thus, a sys admin can determine

it doesn't belong directly to x509v3 support project. However, even that project could make use of that option for specifying different policies per User/Group. There is an existing CR for resyncing OpenSSH's Match option keyword (6655613).
