// This structure is returned during authentication. This is most relevant
// for client authentication unless mutual authentication has been implemented
// in which case the client can also authenticate the server. It is embeded
// in each protocol object to facilitate mutual authentication. Note that the
// destructor does nothing and it is the responsibility of the protocol object
// to delete the XrdSecEntity data members, if need be. This is because
// there can only be one destructor instance for the class and it is ambiguous
// as to which shared library definition should be used. Since protocol objects
// have unique class names, each one can have a private destructor avoiding
// platform specific run-time loader address resolution ecentricities. The OO
// "fix" for this problem would require protocols to define a derived private
// destructor for this object which is more hassle than it's worth.
