Extend APIC API token timeout

Hi all,

I was wondering the other day if there is a API call that can increase the API token timeout. Right now it is 600sec=10mins which is okay but could be more. I came across this managed object "/uni/userext/pkiext/webtokendata" while googling other ACI stuff which hold the settings for various things. So I did a little visore digging ad found this "webtokenTimeoutSeconds" object which was set to 600sec. So I started to play with it and it worked. I was able to extend the token lifetime.

The API endpoint is https://apic.example.com/api/node/mo/uni/userext/pkiext/webtokendata.json

And the POST request body is the following:

{ "pkiWebTokenData": { "attributes": { "dn": "uni/userext/pkiext/webtokendata", "webtokenTimeoutSeconds": "3600" }, "children": [] } }

Hope that helps for anyone else too.

Regards,

Ricgard

I used this example for uploading firmware to the GUI. The upload was timing out with a 403 failure. I used this exact query as a get and it showed 600. I then did the post and added the body and it updated to 3600. I re-ran the get request and it showed 3600. I then re-uploaded the firmware and it was successful. Thanks for the post!
