OAuth Token Failed using JWT

[Shaun Lim]

I think the authentication for using JWT under the Python layer.

On line 33 of the file sf_auth.py, it converts datetime to int, which is what is causing the problem I think. I think it needs to remain as datetime.

It appears to be working after I removed the conversion. I changed:

exp = int((datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=SalesforceConfig.TOKEN_VALID_FOR)).timestamp())

to:

exp = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=SalesforceConfig.TOKEN_VALID_FOR)

you can use either int or datetime, we happen to use int. Can you describe the issue you see that caused you to change that? we have no other implementations that have run into this.

I can’t recall the exact error but I believe it was a 40x error when attempting to obtain an access token. I had written my own code to perform a similar operation before using the same jar and requests modules before and when comparing the both, the difference that I spotted was mine was using date time while this was using int. So I tried changing it and it worked.
