| Sep 16, 2022 at 5:29 | comment | added | Gerald Schneider | Sadly, the expiry time is not documented in the API documentation. In the vSphere vCenter configuration I can see a configured session timeout with a value of 120 minutes, but there is no indication if this value is used only for interactive sessions of the web UI or for all sessions. I presume it's the latter, but there is no way to be sure. | |

| Sep 15, 2022 at 13:32 | comment | added | Gerald Schneider | @Reinderien I added the response including headers. | |

| Sep 15, 2022 at 13:12 | comment | added | Reinderien | Please include in your question a header dump from the response of the auth endpoint. It might be possible to simplify this. | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 12:44 | comment | added | Gerald Schneider | I'm caching the authentication token. The check runs every minute for every single host, there is no need to authenticate every time, just when the token is expired or isn't there yet. | |
| Sep 15, 2022 at 12:15 | comment | added | Reinderien | I'm confused. If you have hard-coded credentials, why would you bother to send a first unauthenticated request? Why not just authenticate immediately? | |
