Auth0 class missing action to renew access token

[jspetrak]

Auth0 class has an Authentication object instantiated internally. It is supposed to call this API with current session data like access/id/refresh token and perform the operations.

However the action to renew access token with refresh token is missing.

If you need to get a refresh_token or an id_token back from your code exchange with oauth/token, you need to request that using the scope parameter when you create a new Auth0 instance.

• If you only need an access token, you can omit the scope parameter
• If you also need an ID token, use at least openid (more here)
• If you also need a refresh token, add offline_access (more here)

We're reviewing the README here currently and will include some extra information about this 👍

@joshcanhelp This is not about receiving id or refresh token. This is about ability to use the refresh_token to refresh the access_token. There is not a method to do that with a ready-setup Auth0.php instance, and the Authentication object is private inside the class.

Sorry @jspetrak, I didn't read that correctly.

The next section down in the Refresh Token guide I sent has instructions (for anyone that is looking for a how-to):

https://auth0.com/docs/tokens/refresh-token/current#use-a-refresh-token

I agree, though, the SDK should have a method to handle that. I'll reopen and assign to myself.

Thank you!

Perfect, thank you!

I have the same problem. I need to get a user list from the Management class and the token gets invalid every 24 hours.

[joshcanhelp]

@d0cm0d - Actually, this is regarding a refresh token for a user session, not the Management API. The token you're generating can be given a longer expiration date when you create it (make sure to limit your scopes to only the ones you need and keep that very safe) or you can authorize your Application for that Management API and do a Client Credentials Grant. If you need more assistance there, please work with our awesome support team.

@joshcanhelp How about this implementation? #257
