AuthenticationTicketId expiring

#1

We are using a username in combination with AuthenticationTicketId in order to Authenticate with Quantify. We chose not to use the username/ password method as we didn’t want to store the password in clear text within our code. The problem we have is that the AuthenticationTickets we are using expire, seemingly randomly, every month or so.

Is there a way to stop these tickets from expiring OR is there an alternative authentication method for the API which does not involve storing passwords in clear text?

Hi Kirsty. You’ll want to use the username/password method. You can store them in an encrypted config file, or make them static readonly variables and obfuscate your code using something like Red-Gate SmartAssembly
