Bug 1464275

Description of problem:

Clients querying the X11 server for the SECURITY extension are returned an error.

The X11 server should support the SECURITY extension until a viable alternative exists.

Under RHEL6.5+, customers use the X11 Security Extension to generate authentication tokens for remote clients (xauth generate).  It appears that this capability is no longer available under RHEL7, even though the version of Xorg-server is the same.  Clients that query the X server for the Security Extension are rewarded with an error (both local and remote clients).  It appears that the only available remote client authentication available is via "xhost", which is undesirable for some cuistomers.  

This capability was also left out of early RHEL6 releases, but reinstated as of 6.5 - https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1620.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run # xdpyinfo -display :0 | grep SECURITY
2. For X11 servers that support the SECURITY extension, you will see output for the match.  For RHEL7, there is no match.
