Token validator

EvelynHernandez

Hello,

I need to know if theres a way of validate the token once u saved it in localStorage.

Right now im creating tokens with a certain duration (lets say 1day) and using them directly on the webservice.

So i need to know once u save it in a localStorage var how to validate if the token is already expired or not.

I was thinking to do this through ajax but i cannot figure out how to do it.

Until now i have something like this, i hope u guys can help me

function tokenValidator(t){

  const exampleUrl = "http://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/mylayer/sufolder/MapServer";
  const datat = {
    token: t
  };
  console.log(t);
  $.ajax({
    url: exampleUrl,
    dataType: 'json',
    data:  datat 
  })
  .done(isDone => {


      console.log(isDone);
      console.log("the token is still valid");


  })
  .fail(error => {
        console.log(error);
        console.log("token is not valid, redirect to login page");
  });
}

Ok, it was that, Thanks for all ur help!

I finished my quest doing this.

For controlling the token expiration i used an event for the dynamic service that i was accessing.

Example: my layer has a refreshInterval =1;

So, in every minute it will be refreshed, but what happen if the token that allows me to update it is already expired?

To solve that i used:

interrClienteSED.on('update-end', (obj)=>{
    if(obj.error){
      console.log("Redirecting to login page, token for this session is ended...");
        window.location.href = "index.html";
    }
  });

So that will return an object that contains error if the update cannot be done or info if its still ok and it will be checking it every minute.

In my case i want to redirecto to the login page (index).

In the case if i go directly to my secondary page (the page after the login), I have to see if the token is still valid, then i just use my ajax call:

function tokenValidator(){
  var t = localStorage.getItem('token');
  const exampleUrl = "http://myservice/arcgis/rest/services/mylayer/MapServer";
  const datas = {
    token: t,
    f: "json"
  };
  console.log("in token validator");
  $.ajax({
    method: "POST",
    url: exampleUrl,
    dataType: 'html',
    data: datas
  })
  .done(isDone => {
     if (isDone.indexOf('Invalid Token') >= 0){
      console.log("redirect to login page from token validator...");
        window.location.href = "index.html";
    }else{
        console.log("everything is ok! u can continue doing what u are doing.");
    }
  })
  .fail(error => {
    console.log("token validator failure", error);
  });
}

I hope this helps to someone that has the same issue .

Thanks!
