====== Setting an authentication token ======
Authentication tokens can be set on devices where a user login is not required or is unnecessary.  For example, a dash board display screen.

It is not recommended to use Token Authentication for normal user access to the web services.

It is good practice is also to not set a password for users that are used with Authentication tokens.  Users without passwords will not be able to login using a password and only an authentication token will work.
