Undefined Result, please try again - loses authentication? #116

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure login to work correctly
2. Do some lookups - all good
3. Leave for a while with no lookup activity. I'm not sure how long, maybe 1 day
4. Try a lookup again - does not work. Takes a long time searching (see first 
attachment), maybe 15 seconds and then returns "Undefined Result, please try 
again" )(see second attachment)
5. Go back into settings and and click the "Log in" button. All good, that 
works.
6. Now searches work again

What version of the product are you using? 2.07

What version of Android are you running? Jellybean on an S4

What version of Exchange are you connecting to? I think its most likely  2007

Please provide any additional information below.

It seems like this is some kind of credential timeout issue. Its like when you 
first connect you get a token which is valid for authentication for a limited 
period of inactivity. Once it has timed out you need to re login to get it back 
again. I have no idea if this is how the app works and I also am open to the 
possibilty that in this particular case it could be a limitation of the 
specific Exchange server I am connecting to.

However, it would be good if, the app could work around this as follows - when 
the app detects this state it automatically reissues the log in for me so that 
it is a seamless experience for me.
