Take a peek at /var/X11/xdm/xdm-config and you'll see that it's got both
XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 and MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 defined:
[...]
DisplayManager._0.authName: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
[...]
DisplayManager.local_0.authName: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
[...]
(so THAT'S what that file is for .. :-) )
