1. A computer-implemented method of authenticating a Representational State Transfer (REST) server for one or more processes in a client-server network, comprising:
allocating a shared memory accessible to multiple clients of the network;
generating a respective server authentication token for each server, the authentication token valid for a period of time defined by an expiration time;
implementing a shared library function that uses the shared memory to manage the generation and expiry of each server authentication token and to communicate with appropriate servers through a single function call initiated by a requesting client; and
reusing, during the period of time, a valid token by later processes accessing the respective server requests to the respective server made by the later processes.
