/**
* Utility class for for giving another process permission (token) to
* access on demand a specific file from another process. The class
* permits process (provider) to grant another process (consumer) ability to
* open, read and close the named file on demand as the consumer so wishes, 
* without repeated interaction between provider and consumer. 
*
* Tokens are valid as long the session used for grating the permission is connected 
* 
* @code
*
*    // Provider should usually instantiate session as member variable as session lifetime 
*    // defines the tokens lifetime also, consumer may generate session on-demand based as well

*
*   User::LeaveIfError(iClient.GenerateToken(),TSecurityPolicy(consumerSecId), tokenbuf));
*
*   // Generating token based on existing token
*   // Nb. Consumer may ensure extended lifetime for token by "cloning" it
*   // (i.e. make sure that token remains valid even the session of orifial provider
*   // is closed )
