You make it up. The only requirement is that it is at least 16 characters long.

This token is used by the device, in conjunction with the serialNumber and passTypeIdentifier to authenticate against your web service and let it know that the device is authorised to receive a particular pass.

In PHP you could do something like:

$authToken = generateAuthToken();

function generateAuthToken($length = 16) {
    return substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 0, $length);
}
