Alternatively, the module accepts the API token and account alias. The API token can be generated using the CLC account login and password via the HTTP api call @ https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_V2_API_TOKEN, the API token generated from https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_ACCT_ALIAS, the account alias associated with the centurylink cloud
Users can set CLC_V2_API_URL to specify an endpoint for pointing to a different CLC environment.
