 * Hey there,
 * I have an endpoint which creates new users, and I would like the response to 
   be a token from JWT Auth.
 * This is important for me so that i’m not transmitting plain text passwords back
   to the client (for auto generated passwords) and then can automatically log them
   in.
 * Is there any functionality to programatically log in a user?
 * Cheers
    Adam
