Cause

Access Fulfillment Express (AFX) is failing to retrieve authorization token [access token] from the endpoint. It will continuously try to retrieve the access token until it is successful as AFX will need a valid access token to fulfill AFX requests at the endpoint.

AFX connectors with RESTful Web Service template can take advantage of OAuth authorization protocol. OAuth allows "client applications" to get limited access to the "endpoints/servers" using authorization token rather than authentication using credentials. Authorization tokens have limited lifetime and will expire. Clients need to retrieve a new token before authorization token expires using refresh token mechanism. AFX does this automatically in the background but can fail if connection details are not valid and up-to-date. Every time AFX fails to retrieve a new access token, it logs an error in the aveksaServer.log.

Resolution

Make sure you can retrieve the OAuth 2.0 access token manually. To do so, click AFX > Connectors > [Connector Name] > Edit > Settings.

Click Proceed for authorization and acquire an access token. A new authentication window will open. If you cannot complete this step, make sure all the connection details are valid and up-to-date. You may need to reach out to your AFX endpoint administrator to validate the connection details.
