This module is responsible for filtering all proxy traffic and checking for a valid token. In addition, it is responsible for retrieving the permissions for a given user and making decisions regarding access based on user permissions and defined requirements for a given path. It provides a token creation endpoint that privileged modules (such as Authentication) may make use of.

mod-authtoken employs a caching mechanism to avoid repeated lookups to the permissions module for rapid incoming requests. This is enabled by default, though it may be disabled by passing -Dcache.permissions=false to the jar when loading.
Passing a value of "true" to the Authtoken-Refresh-Cache header for any request will inform mod-authtoken to delete the permissions cache for that userid and to request fresh permissions, regardless of cache age.
