auth.generate_token
===================

Generate a token to be used for authentication.

`ttl` stands for Time To Live, in seconds. The token will be invalidated if the connection has been inactive for a time greater than this.

`attrs` is a general purpose object/dictionary to hold information about the token.

`match_origin` will only allow using this token from the same IP address or with the same user UID.

NOTE: this endpoint is not supported when server security requires replay-resistant authentication as part of GPOS STIG requirements.
