This value is specified in the CreateAC request as the identifier to be used when referring to a particular AccessContext
resource within the server.
These resources are used by the server to store client-specified authorization information.
This information may be used by the server to determine whether or not the client should be granted access to particular font data.
In order to preserve the integrity of font licensing being performed by the font server, care must be taken by a client to properly
represent the identity of the true user of the font. Some font clients will in fact be servers (for example, X servers) requesting
fonts for their own clients.
Other font clients may be doing work on behalf of a number of different users over time (for example, print spoolers).
AccessContexts must be created (with CreateAC) and switched among (with SetAuthorization) to represent all of these font users properly.
ACCESSCONTEXT:ID
NB:ACCESSCONTEXT is represented internally as a Java long.
