Refresh Token In Asp.net Web Api - asp.net-web-api

Question

My angular application is connected with an asp.net web API project. Token expiry timeout is 20 mins. Below is my startup class
public class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
// For more information on how to configure your application, visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=316888
app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions option = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
{
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
Provider = new ApplicationOAuthProvider(),
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(5),
AllowInsecureHttp = true
};
app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(option);
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());
}
}
The problem is that my token is not getting refreshed on every call and it is automatically getting expired after 20 mins. How can I refresh a token on every API call?

Answer 1

Pls add refresh token provider in the config method -
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions options = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
{
AllowInsecureHttp = true,
//The Path For generating the Toekn
TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/token"),
//Setting the Token Expired Time (30 minutes)
AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
//MyAuthorizationServerProvider class will validate the user credentials
Provider = new MyAuthorizationServerProvider(),
//For creating the refresh token and regenerate the new access token
RefreshTokenProvider = new RefreshTokenProvider()
};
app.UseOAuthAuthorizationServer(options);
app.UseOAuthBearerAuthentication(new OAuthBearerAuthenticationOptions());
HttpConfiguration config = new HttpConfiguration();
WebApiConfig.Register(config);
}
}
