Automatically granting app tokens for API

PowerShell Universal
1

Hi I have a Dashboard where I use $PSUAppToken to get a token for use in the API.

It appears -GrantAppToken is no longer a thing?

About - PowerShell Universal

If I remove -GrantAppToken it “works” the first time, but the token that gets generated only has a lifetime of 24 hours, after the 24 hours the token is expired, and a new one is not generated. So from then on it does not work.

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 4.0.8

Hi @tholabrk

could you solve this issue? I think I’ve pretty much the same:

  • users are logged in PSU, whether by Windows or OIDC
  • based on their role (e.g. Administrator) they have access to an App
  • I have an API endpoint defined also assigned to the same role
  • the app shall request data from the API endpoint using the user’s context as authentication

Thanks,
Matthias

Sadly, it’s been a while so I have no idea, sorry.

From looking at our git history I see no relevant changes, so my only guess is that an update fixed it. Maybe 4.0.10?

Fixed an issue where app tokens set to never expire would not authenticate properly (#2598)
