Foundry OAuth Token Expiration and Tableau Integration

Ask the Community
1

I am using Foundry OAuth authentication to log in and link with Tableau. URL
However, due to the access token expiring, re-authentication occurs at regular intervals.

I would like to ask the following questions.

  1. What is the expiration time set for the access token issued during OAuth authentication?
  2. Similarly, what is the expiration time set for the refresh token?
  3. Can the expiration times of the above access token and refresh token be changed as desired? If so, how can I change it (settings file, administration screen, etc.)?

This is a known and long standing issue.

The foundry access token is valid for one hour, it can not be extended. The refresh token is valid longer (I think 30 days).

However, Tableau only recently added support for „single use refresh token“ that foundry uses. I assume it will take some time until the foundry connector is adopted. After that, Tableau should be able to properly use the refresh token to prevent frequent re-logins.
