Setting this to 'reset' resets the recorded minimum and maximum authorization rates back to whatever the current rate happens to be at that moment; setting it to 'unknown' does nothing, and a get always reads back 'unknown'. This is how an admin clears out a stale historical min/max range, for example after a known one-off spike that's no longer representative, so subsequent min/max tracking starts fresh from the present rate rather than staying anchored to an old outlier. After a one-time bulk-migration event pushed cssgTalMaxAuthRate to an artificially high 900 req/sec, an admin would set cssgTalResetAuthRates to reset(2) so the max/min baseline reflects normal traffic going forward instead of that one anomaly.
