In CORBA, you don't really pass objects around as you pass
object _references_. Assuming AuthResponse_i is a CORBA
derived class, you'd do something like:

  // Implicit activation (there other ways to activate objects)
  AuthResponse_var r_response = pr_auth_response->_this();
  
  return r_response._retn();

Of course, you must handle object deactivation also.

You MUST get Henning & Vinoski's "Advanced CORBA Programming
with C++".
