Gateway authentication expires every two weeks

[casperlow]

Hi,

We have an on-prem gateway setup to our Azure Data lake, 
Everything works fine after authenticating my credentials under "Manage Connections and Gateways".
However, I noticed that every two weeks my authentication on the gateway expires and the dataset/semantic model fails to refresh and the error is related the authentication on the gateway. I then have to reauthentication my credentials on the gateway for the dataset/semantic model refreshes fine. 
FYI my credentials have never changed. 

Have this happened to anyone before? Is there a solution for me not to reauthenticate every two weeks?

Here's the error Im getting:

Hi, @casperlow 

Based on your description, you are experiencing an issue with gateway authentication expiring every two weeks, causing dataset and semantic model refreshes to fail.

The error message you're encountering ("Invalid JWT Token. The token is expired.") suggests that the authentication token provided by your credentials is expiring. If possible, consider extending the token lifecycle. However, please be careful not to compromise security by setting the duration too long.

@casperlow Did you ever get this figured out?

This has been resolved by updating the gateway and implementing a service principal account. 

hope that helps.

Thanks, for your response.
I'll investigate on the error further if it gets this error "Invalid JWT Token. The token is expired."
