This token is dynamically generated in the server and sent to OpenNebula;
no file is required.

There are some actions that are executed as serveradmin (i.e: retrieving
the userpool to authenticate), that's why you get serveradmin as
target_user in some cases.

BTW, updating to OpenNebula 3.6 is recommended since lot of things have
been fixed and improved

Hope this helps.

Cheers
