Logic Apps Custom Connector security issue

Hi ​@Alexander Heinze 

Prior to 24R2, the IAM client refresh token validity is 2 hrs, which means you need to obtain a new access token by logging in.

As a quick fix, you can go to the Connections in Power Automate and do the ‘Fix Connection’ for the connector connection to obtain a new token.

If you are building an automated flow using logic apps, a customer connector may not be the ideal solution. You may call the IFS projection endpoints using the generic HTTP connector available in power platform and fetch a token before invoking the projection and add in the request.

You can get some idea on my blog post below :)

If you are building a Powerapps app, then a custom connector would be a good choice since the users can re-login in the app once the token is expired.

Hope it helps!

Hi Damith,

That confirms my conclusion. I have already moved from Power Automate to Logic Apps because the Flows had significant limitations. And now it seems that I also need to move from the custom connector to generic HTTP.

Unless someone comes up with a better fix...

Hi ​@Alexander Heinze 

With the Sessions and Tokens Configuration in 24R2, you can create a IAM client to have a longer session lifespan which is one workaround. but it comes with the price of security concerns.

Client Credential is not supported in custom connectors, so I think it generic HTTP connector would be the only viable option available.

I'm using IFS 24 R2. When I try to refresh the token from Postman,

{

    "error": "invalid_grant",

    "error_description": "Token is not active"

}
But this refresh token flow worked a month back. Could not find what the issue is here.
