When will extended token be implemented?

erica_poisson — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 16:50:21 GMT

Hi -

I know Esri has been working with Microsoft to extend the token life from 14 to 90 days with the ArcGIS connector. When will that be implemented? I'd thought it was included in the December release, but am finding I still need to refresh tokens every 14 days. I may have misinterpreted what I read.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I came looking for the same information, hoping there's an update on this soon.

After a very long publication freeze on Microsoft's side, we got notice yesterday that the certification has been completed and it will be included in their next deploy package. This means it should be moved out of Preview into General Availability in the next three to four weeks and then promoted to GCC in four to six weeks after that.

Is this a 90 day timeout as Erica mentioned or removing the timeout all together like the Survey123 connector?

@RobertAnderson3 - It will be a 90 day timeout because of a difference in authentication. Here is a post that details the difference between the two authentication methods and why it is occurring.

@SeanKMcGinnis - thank you!

Will there be any sort of announcement made when this is available in GCC? Also, will any change be necessary to existing flows for this to take effect?

Thank you!

Good day all - I wanted to share an update in regards to the 90 token expiration. The ArcGIS Connector for Power Automate has been deployed to many different regions. As of this morning, the last two regions for it to be deployed are the US and UK. I will update the thread when I get notice.

I have not gotten the notification from Microsoft that the connector has been deployed to the US and UK regions, I did just check Power Automate (in the public cloud) and the new capabilities are in there. I will continue following up with them to get an update as to when it hits the GCC tenants.

Hi @SeanKMcGinnis - any update on the ETA for this in US GCC?

@erica_poisson - according to Microsoft, it is already available in GCC (Low). I will reach out to the Power Automate team this week to try and understand the different versions and the deployment across the different security regions.

@erica_poisson & @RobertAnderson3 - I wanted to share with you, the Microsoft Power Automate team has promoted the ArcGIS Connector for Power Automate to GCC! This version includes the new longer duration refresh token!

Hi @SeanKMcGinnis - great news! Is there anything that I need to do to my existing flows that use the ArcGIS Connector to take advantage of the extended token life?

Hi @erica_poisson - there shouldn't be anything you need to do as the logic is a backend fix. If you do have any hiccups, please let me know.

@SeanKMcGinnis So the change is already implemented? How long are the new tokens? We currently manually fresh each week to avoid it timing out...

@ahargreaves_FW - with the new release the tokens will last for 90 days.
