Custom JWT Token Expiration Time

[alf...@itprovent.com]

Hi,

I am implementing custom authentication by generating custom JWT Token using the new Firebase Node JS Server SDK. How can i change the expiration time generated by the Firebase Auth JWT token generator?. Currently the expiration time is too short, only about 2 hours. I am hoping to increase the duration of the expiration for the token.

Thanks.

Expiration times are now managed by the Firebase Auth service which can refresh tokens indefinitely, so it shouldn't ever be necessary to specify an expiration.

In my case am using the firebase token generator module but doesn't seem to validate anymore, using custom auth.

Hey Evans, if you are using the old token generator libraries, they won't work with the Firebase 3.x.x SDKs. If you want to mint custom tokens for the 3.x.x SDKS, you should follow the instructions here. And, as Michael said, the custom token you create will be sent to the client, which will handle refreshing the underlying authentication token indefinitely.

Cheers,

Jacob
