arcpy.SignInToPortal token expires after 12 hours

NeilEtheridge — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 12:59:20 GMT

I have a script that runs for a long time (2 days) for deploying a large Utility Network. The script makes a connection to portal early on using the SignInToPortal function, however by the time subsequent commands are run I get a ...

Error: ERROR 002119: Must be connected and signed into the portal.
Failed to execute (AssetPackageToUtilityNetwork).

I checked the token returned by SignInToPortal and it expires 12 hours after the request. Using Fidder to capture the request I can see "expiration" is part of the request.

/portal/sharing/rest/generateToken/username=utilitynetworkowner&password=abcdefg&expiration=720&client=referer&referer=http://www.esri.com/AGO/B90FF998-17C8-4248-8F0A-A7000000000

Is there anyway to change the timeout request?

Thanks,

Neil

@NeilEtheridge you could generate the token with the below code, which includes the expiration parameter. This value is in minutes, and the max is 15 days:

import requests, json # Disable warnings requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings() username = "portaladmin" password = "********" tokenURL = 'https://portal.esri.com:7443/arcgis/sharing/rest/generateToken/' params = {'f': 'pjson', 'username': username, 'password': password, 'referer': 'https://portal.esri.com', 'expiration': 21600} r = requests.post(tokenURL, data = params, verify=False) response = json.loads(r.content) token = response['token'] print(token)

Hi,

In one of my projects I refresh token (if needed) before using token in some operation. I do it a little bit earlier than token expires.

Thanks Jake for the reply - I should have thought to try it this way as I already do similar in other scripts when making direct calls to the REST interface. I wasn't sure if subsequent Utility Network commands would recognise this token so went with the down the same track as Gintautas has suggested below.

Thanks Gintautas. This was the approach went with ... just checking the token hadn't expired before I needed it again.

Cheers,

Neil

Jake,

Is connecting to AGOL a similar process? I've got a code that is iteratively exporting each Hosted Feature Service in the organization to FGDB, but it tends to hand up after a couple hours. I'm doing a simple

gis = GIS(portalURL, portalUser, portalPass)

to access the AGOL org. Does that generate a token with a time limit? If so, any way to tell how long that time limit is (or to change it)?

Thank you!
