How are you guys handling client secret rotation in production? We’re running a Node.js integration that uses the genesyscloud SDK for high-volume outbound campaigns. The current setup caches the access token, but when we update the client secret in the Genesys Cloud portal, the cache expires and we get a wave of 401 Unauthorized errors until the new token is fetched.
I’ve looked at the /api/v2/oauth/tokens endpoint, but it seems tied to the existing credentials. Is there a way to programmatically validate the new secret before switching over? I’m thinking of creating a secondary OAuth app with a staggered expiry, but that feels messy.
Here’s the basic refresh logic we’re using:
const refresh = async () => {
try {
const response = await platformClient.authApi.authPostToken({
body: {
grant_type: 'client_credentials',
client_id: process.env.GC_CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: process.env.GC_CLIENT_SECRET // This is the problem child
}
});
return response.body.access_token;
} catch (err) {
console.error('Auth failed:', err.status);
throw err;
}
};
If I swap the env var, the SDK doesn’t know to re-auth until the next request fails. Any tips for a smooth handoff?
