+security:
+ - The admin_token method of authentication was never intended to be
+ used for any purpose other than bootstrapping an install. However
+ many deployments had to leave the admin_token method enabled due
+ to restrictions on editing the paste file used to configure the
+ web pipelines. To minimize the risk from this mechanism, the
+ `admin_token` configuration value now defaults to a python `None`
+ value. In addition, if the value is set to `None`, either explicitly or
+ implicitly, the `admin_token` will not be enabled, and an attempt to
+ use it will lead to a failed authentication.
