How to configure refresh token so that it does not expire

[karl_cheng]

Hi, I am setting up oauth on an instance, and have created a refresh token.  The documentation says that the refresh token expires in 100 days by default, and I can change it on the console.  However, I would like the token to never expire.  Is there a way to do that (would setting a value of -1 do the trick?)

Hi Karl,

I don't think system would allow so because of the OAuth functionality. It would have some life span.

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.

A refresh token has to be expired according to the physics of OAuth. 

If you dont want a refresh token to be expired (which i dont think is a good idea). 

Go to the table oauth_credential OR search for the Module Manage Tokens under System OAuth. Once you are in this table you should find a record related to your refresh token, in this record you can manipulate the Expires Field . You can probably put a Business Rule/Scheduled Job that keeps extending the value in the Expires field. This way your refresh token doesn't expire.

Is it possible to set expires in 3650 days (say 10 years) for a refresh token when generating the tokens?

Here I am using following python code to generate tokens

post_data = {
    'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
    'code': <code>,
    'redirect_uri': '<redirect_url>',
    'scope': 'useraccount'
    # Any query parameter to set expiry date?
}
auth = base64.b64encode('<client_id>:<client_secret>')
headers = {'Authorization': 'Basic {}'.format(auth)}
resp = requests.post('https://instance.service-now.com/oauth_token.do', data=post_data, headers=headers)

 In the post_data, are there any query parameter to set expiry date?  or any other way to set expiry date are also welcomed except manually setting in application registry.
