Typical Result Codes for Auth and XAuth

For an Auth or XAuth request, the most common result code triplets are listed in the table below. These will generally be suitable for most ESM Modules. For an explanation of the response classes (Allow, Deny, Fail, and Unknown), see the section ESF API Calls.
