Serialization untidiness in AuthToken
-------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-1064
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-1064
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6.12
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: Bela Ban
            Priority: Minor

The abstract AuthToken class implements Serializable, so the AS serialization compatibility tests are monitoring it for incompatible changes. Per JBAS-7265 looks like one has crept in:

FAIL: serialVersionUID error for org.jgroups.auth.AuthToken, 500 3079597723572751028, current: -2876389454499198917 

This is minor, since JGroups presumably uses Streamable to marshal/unmarshal these. But some tidy up would be good:

1) The AuthToken.auth field should be transient since AUTH is not serializable.

2) A serialVersionUid field should be added to AuthToken and all subclasses.  The value for AuthToken should be -2876389454499198917. I'm seeing if I can find out what the value should be for the various subclasses.

Do these classes need to be Serializable? If not, perhaps remove that in 3.0?
