salt-api user token lifetime?

[Heinz Meier]

Hi,

from the docs I learned that the salt-api used tokens to authentication for script automation. These tokens have a default lifetime of 12 h.

I want to trigger a salt-run from netbox. When I generate the token manually and add the token in netbox, this webhook will only work for 12 hours. After that I would have to generate a new token.

Is there any possibility to extend the lifetime of the token?

you can create a token for your netbox system using https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/runners/all/salt.runners.auth.html#salt.runners.auth.mk_token using token_expire to set a very long token time. token_expire being the number of seconds until the token expires.

May I suggest using https://github.com/saltstack/pepper ?

This lib will deal with token & auth so you wouldnot need to worry about it.
