     Authorization: Token 8f17825cf08a7efea124f2638f3896f6637f8745
 
+The auth token is only valid when used from the same remote address and user
+agent that originally obtained it.
+
 Each request that uses the token for authentication will refresh its expiration
 timestamp and keep it from expiring.  A token only expires when it is not used
 for the configured timeout interval (default 1800 seconds).
