+It is also possible to send in a valid auth token instead of a username/password.  If we use the above example,  the settings object might look something like this:
+
+```
+const settings = {
+  };
+
+settings.config = {
+  url: process.env.CLUSTER_URL,
+  auth: {
+    token: process.env.TOKEN
+  },
+  insecureSkipTlsVerify: true
+};
+```
