Cause
AFX connectors with RESTful Web Service template can take advantage of OAuth authorization protocol. OAuth allows "client applications" to get limited access to the "endpoints/servers" using authorization token rather than authentication using credentials. Authorization tokens have limited lifetime and will expire. Clients need to retrieve a new token before authorization token expires using refresh token mechanism. AFX does this automatically in the background but can fail if connection details are not valid and up-to-date. Every time AFX fails to retrieve a new access token, it logs an error in the aveksaServer.log.
Resolution
- Make sure you can retrieve the OAuth 2.0 access token manually. To do so, click AFX > Connectors > [Connector Name] > Edit > Settings.
- Click Proceed for authorization and acquire an access token. A new authentication window will open. If you cannot complete this step, make sure all the connection details are valid and up-to-date. You may need to reach out to your AFX endpoint administrator to validate the connection details.
