Authentication failure with 'https' backend after 2 hours

[aditisingh]

Hi!
Can we change the timeout limit from 2 hours to a few days when using 'https' backend with username and password in realm- pam? Making request every 2 hours is not possible overnight and the authentication fails when we try to use proxmox on the next day.

the failure should not happen as long as GUI is open. It could be something related to your specific browser environment, or could be a bug. Have you tried a different browser, incognito, checked console for errors, disabled/paused extensions?

good luck

Thanks for your inputs!

Unfortunately, the GUI is running and is accessible but when I try to make a request using the python proxmoxerAPI, I get authenticatoin failure after 2 hours of inactivity.

those are two different channels of accessing the API, if I understand your statement correctly. The authentication tickets are separate for each one. The gui automatically refreshes its ticket, you are responsible for the refresh from proxmoxerAPI ( I dont know if its possible).

Look into possibility of creating longer life auth tickets, or recreate ticket on each run.

good luck
