Tokens expire?

[BigJohnIV]

Perhaps I'm missing something. I've created an app that gets authentication tokens on registration and saves them with the user for login at a later date. If I login imediately all is good. If I wait an hr or two the authentication fails. Is there an expiration date on tokens? Is there away to remove it?

If you are talking about external authentication tokens, they don't "expire" unless your room starts and terminates.

Are you sure you didn't access the room by mistake ?

Anyway, if you still have problems, send us some logs and we'll look into it.

Hi there,

I'm guessing you've stored a token for a user in the DB, which means it's

more "permanent" than the room session. We only allow tokens to work for the

duration of a room session, which is defined as the time between the first

user entering a room to around 5 minutes after the last user leaves the

room.

Essentially, the workflow that tends to happen is that a user wants to

enter a room, makes a request to you, you generate a new authToken, and the

client logs in. Tokens aren't especially storable.

hope that helps
