Creating Layer with Auth Token : How do I keep it connected?

Question

I'm using CreateLayer in my Add-In and passing an auth token to create a layer from a REST Map Server.

The issue I'm having is that after the token times out, the layers will no longer work and they have to create the layers again through a ribbon button I provided.

Is there a way to force the token to be generated after a timeout? Maybe I can receive an event in the add-in??? I just have no idea what to search for to make this happen.

Thanks in advance!

I use CreateLayer with passing a token to create the layers initially and don't see anything that can handle the token timeouts related directly to CreateLayer. I'll look at those links.

Have you tried the out-of-the-box functionality  CreateLayer?

You probably need to look into ArcGISPortal class for the Pro Addin or IArcGISSignOn  for the CoreHost app for advanced token handling. Also, https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.3/help/projects/sign-in-to-your-organization.htm is worth looking at.

Thanks for that. Is this relative to ArcGIS Pro SDK 3.3? I can't find anything like the TokenCredential classes.

Also, where would this code go if I could get it to work? Module Initialize?
