Known Issues
-
Unauthenticated exception following long-running operation
After an API client completes a long-running operation, such as an upload to the content library, the next operation might fail with an "Unauthenticated exception" message. This happens if the long running operation did not complete within the lifetime of the authentication session.
Workarounds:
- Keep the session alive by issuing short operations on another thread until the long running operation completes.
- Increase the session length using the VMware vSphere Web Client. Select Administration > System Configuration > Services > vAPI Endpoint > Manage> General, and increase the value for the Maximum session idle time.
