In src/XrdHttp/XrdHttpProtocol.cc:

+    SecEntity.name = strdup("unknown-\0"); // note it's 9 chars

Is it safe to automatically assign names here (and above)?

Recall that parts of the DN are user-controlled ... not sure if a clever user could control their mapped name.

What if an admin wants a dedicated "unmapped" account when the user is not in the gridmap?
