AEMaaCS | Cloud Manager Service Credentials

[Jineet_Vora]

I am generating access_token using Service Credentials from AEMaaCS Developer Console.

I am successfully able to get the access_token using Service Credentials by generating the JWT token a below:

{
  token_type: 'bearer',
  access_token: 'accessTokenHere',
  expires_in: 86399998
}

Question: What does expires_in: 86399998 signify? Is it time in milliseconds or something else as I couldn't find this in documentation anywhere?

Thanks!

Hi @Jineet_Vora,

The expires_in value is in milliseconds. Here is reference to documentation - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/landing/platform-apis/api-authentication...

I am not sure if above document is 100% related to your case or the way how you generated the token. But looking into JSON format it seems to be exactly the same with the one you have shared. I think that below rules will apply to multiple Adobe services that are using JWT but maybe not all of them are documented yet.

@Jineet_Vora 

yes it will be in millisecounds. the AEM as a Cloud Service credentials expire after a year. To ensure service continuity, developers have the option of refreshing the credentials, extending their availability for an extra year. Refer to below links:
