Refresh token In embedding reports from Power BI Service

Hello everyone,

 

Seems like the generated refresh token that comes with the access token expires in 1h like the access token (I am using the AcquireTokenByAuthorizationCodeAsync), so I have to request a new access token, what is the right way to request a refresh token? or is it allowed to extend the lifetime of an Azure refresh token and how?

 

Thank you...

By defautl the refresh token lifetime is 90 days, see Configurable token lifetimes in Azure Active Directory. And in my test, the refresh token which was generated several days ago still works at this moment. To request a access token with a refresh token, you can see the POST API call in this thread, I'm not using the AAD SDK.

 

Since your question is more Azure AD related, for further question, I'd suggest you post it in the dedicated AAD forum. You'd get better response there.
