Refreshing temporary credentials failed during advisory refresh period.

I'm not an experienced Python developer, so go easy on me ;-) Noticing lots of credential refreshing errors in our logs

Connection timeout too low perhaps?

[IBMeric]

Do you see this behavior only with 2.10, meaning you can switch back and forth between 2.6 and 2.10 and reproduce it only with 2.10? If the problem does not follow the version, is it intermittent, which would be characteristic of a network and service issue?

[roryodonnell]

Haven't dug too far into it Eric - it may not be related to the version bump, we only started noticing it recently. I can see it from over two weeks ago (logDna retention time) - it may have been present before that, and even before 2.6.3 - but cannot be sure

(Updated OP to remove specifics about versioning)

We are looking at your proposed solution now for possible inclusion. In most cases like this, we recommend users extend DefaultTokenManager to make the custom changes they want and then pass that into the token_manager parameter at client creation. In your case, the class would just inherit from DefaultTokenManager and override _default_auth_function to set whatever timeout you want. Note that while the create_client call does accept an auth_function parameter, which might seem perfect for this case, it does not work as you might expect. Extending DefaultTokenManager is the better approach.

[roryodonnell]

Thanks Eric - I was hoping to avoid extending the class as some future breaking changes would expose me to being forced to address them, when all I want/ed is to provide a timeout value

[IBMeric]

We have implemented an override in 2.11.0, though the changelog mistakenly has omitted listing this. Can you verify and close this ticket?

[roryodonnell]

Thank you Eric - I try to get it in and tested next sprint

[IBMeric]

Closing this ticket as resolved.
