Hi,

how could I react in my application (no matter which action is tried to be executed) on a 401 error code when application runs in a timeout in background?

POST https://xyz.com/client/1.0/executeBO 401

Request URL:
https://xyz.com/client/1.0/executeBO
Request Method:
POST
Status Code:
401

Do I have to implement I fail callback for every called business object and connector or is there a way how to catch it once for all.

Best regards

Klaus

Hi Klaus,

in your Simplifier instance you can specify the lifetime of the user’s authentication token.

As soon as the token is expired the user will get a 401 error when he triggers any action where he needs to interact with the server. Hence, he is not authenticated anymore.

We created a Business Object (BO) which can help you to notify the user when his authentication is expired and tells him to reload the application.

You can find a detailed description how to use it and where to download the BO in the knowledge base article below:

https://community.simplifier.io/knowledge/how-to-check-simplifier-token-validity/

On the end of the article, you will also find some information on the Simplifier token in general.

Best regards,
Nina
