Im using the Knock gem (https://github.com/nsarno/knock) for JWT based authentication in my Rails 5 application. The authentication token generated auto expires after one day. Is there any way i can either prevent the auto expiration of the token or prolong the expiration ?
Thanks
Yes you can define how long the token should be valid with Knock. First you need to install the initializer:
$ rails generate knock:install
This will generate the initializer file in config/initializers/knock.rb
Than you need to define how long the token should be valid. For example if the token should be valid for 7 days you simply have to set the lifetime to 7 days:
config.token_lifetime = 7.days
or if the token should life "forever" you can set the lifetime to nil:
config.token_lifetime = nil
