GTICKET: P=ppp, Get Authentication Ticket

This is an information‑only message, which indicates that ppp requested seosd to issue an authentication ticket for it. Whenever the Policy Model client, sepmd, communicates with sepmdd, the server verifies the identity of the client through the passed ticket. The client sends the acquired ticket to the server using socket communication. The server then passes this ticket to seosd to get the credentials of the ticket holder with the GETCRED request. In this way, sepmdd ensures the identity of the client requesting its services.
