Auto Refresh token is not working

[LeonardoMussato]

Hello to everyone, I set up my refresh scheme as the official docs said but I still have issues when my token expires...

For example when my token expire I would like to have my token refreshed without the need of a new login.

Is it possible to do it?

Thanks in advanced for your time.

Can you send us a example of the token issued?
My suspicions are the token doesn't contain a "exp" (expiry timestamp) in the payload.
If you can't provide this you can set the maxAge attribute in the config like so:

auth: {
  // ...
  strategies: {
    local: {
      scheme: 'refresh',
      tokenType: 'JWT',
      token: {
        property: 'token',
        maxAge: 60 * 60, // 60 Minutes
        global: true,
      },
      refreshToken: {
        tokenRequired: true,
        property: 'refreshToken',
        data: 'refreshToken',
        maxAge: 60 * 60 * 24 * 30 // 30 Days
      },
      // ...
    }
  }
  // ...
}

Also make sure the autoLogout property is set to false

If the token has expired, it will prevent the token from being refreshed on load the page and force logout the user.

does not work, even if the max age is far lower than the actual exp of the token.

[sneakylenny]

maxAge is merely a fallback in case you token doesn't contain a exp prop.
The token's exp it prioritized over the maxAge prop:
