I'm noticing in my 8.6.2 orchestrators I'm having to re authenticate one of my rest hosts daily. I have this rest host configured to point to a VIP. When I get an authentication token back from the vip it includes the host the token was granted from. These tokens are unique per host behind the load balancer so I point subsequent calls to the api to this host using the token I grabbed. This has worked flawlessly for years and still working fine in my 7.x environment. In vRA/vRO 8 though once a day or so I end up getting failures from the api I am accessing saying username or password are incorrect. If I run the "Update a rest host" workflow and re enter the credentials everything works again for a some period of time. Not sure exactly how long but not more than a day. This is the code I'm using to query for the token. I create a transient host using the rest host I created as my template:
hostResource and restOperation are values I pull in from some config items.
var inParamtersValues = [];
var restHost = RESTHostManager.getHost(hostResource.name);
var transientRestHost = RESTHostManager.createTransientHostFrom(restHost);
// force https for authentication
transientRestHost.url = transientRestHost.url.replace("http:","https:");
var transientOperation = transientRestHost.addOperation(restOperation);
var request = transientOperation.createRequest(inParamtersValues, null);
request.contentType = "";
var response = request.execute();
