/**
 * Represents a constraint on the server, such that if the server
 * authenticates itself, then it must authenticate itself as at least all of
 * the specified principals. The mechanisms and credentials used to
 * authenticate the server as those principals are not specified by this
 * constraint.
 * <p>
 * The use of an instance of this class does not imply directly a
 * {@link ServerAuthentication#YES} constraint; that must be specified
 * separately to ensure that the server actually authenticates itself.
 * Because this constraint is conditional on server authentication, it does
 * not conflict with {@link ServerAuthentication#NO}.
 * <p>
 * It is important to understand that specifying
 * <code>ServerAuthentication.YES</code> as a requirement <i>does not</i>
 * ensure that a server is to be trusted; it <i>does</i> ensure that the
 * server authenticates itself as someone, but it does not ensure that the
 * server authenticates itself as anyone in particular. Without knowing who
 * the server authenticated itself as, there is no basis for actually
 * trusting the server. The client generally needs to specify a
 * <code>ServerMinPrincipal</code> requirement in addition, or else verify
 * that the server has specified a satisfactory
 * <code>ServerMinPrincipal</code> requirement for each of the methods that
 * the client cares about.
