Need to log in manually？

[marksugar]

I need to log in once a day

# argocd login $(kubectl get ingress -n argocd |awk '/ingress/{print $2}'):$(kubectl get svc -n argocd | awk -F":|/" '/argocd-server/{print $4;exit}') --username admin --password $(kubectl -n argocd get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d )  --insecure
'admin:login' logged in successfully
Context 'argocd.xxx.com:31960' updated

Otherwise prompt:

FATA[0000] rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = invalid session: token is expired by 3m32.745479261s

I log in in crontab

1 10 * * * ~/sript/argocdlogin.sh

# argocd version

but I always feel something is missing

do I need to upgrade the version？

Hi @marksugar,

for security reasons, login tokens have a limited lifetime and expire after 24 hours by default.

If you really want longer sessions - which is not recommended from a security perspective - you can set users.session.duration in argocd-cm to a value of type Duration, e.g.

users.session.duration: 72h

to increase the lifetime of the login token.
