Provider does not handle authentication token expiration during terraform apply

[mschedrin]

Prerequisites

• [x] Have you tested the operation in the API directly?
• [x] Do you have the latest Terraform provider version?
• [x] Review the compatibility matrix before opening an issue.

Describe the bug If terraform apply takes significant time authentication token expires and provider crashes. Take a look in the logs. dnac.token_expired.sanitized.log

Expected behavior Provider should renew token when it expires.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Cisco DNA Center version and patch: 2.3.5.4-70852
• Terraform version: 1.5.6
• Cisco DNA Center provider version: 1.1.21
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04

Hi @mschedrin new terraform-provider-dnacenter v1.1.23-beta is out, please try with this new version, tell us if works for you and comment or close the problem as needed.

• The problem is with go-sdk and not with terraform, so we updated go-sdk to v5.0.14

@bvargasre thanks for fixing it. Will I be able to see token expiration in terraform debug log or is reauthentication handled in SDK and "invisible" for the provider? I am not sure how long it takes authentication token to expire and therefore can not define successful test scenario. Do you have any information regarding expiration timer?

@mschedrin The token expiration is 60 minutes, as documented in the API docs.

Thanks @zapodeanu, @bvargasre. I have ran a terraform apply job that went on for 75 minutes and can confirm that reauthentication works.
