How long does Edgemicro cache API Key information?

[sudheendras]

If you wish to use an API key for authorization, how frequently Edge microgateway communicates with Edge for validating the key? Can this frequency be configured?

An API key is traded for an Edge token as needed and the token is cached until the token expires (unless you explicitly clear the cache). Thus, to control the frequency, you need only change the expiration for your tokens.

hmm... i get how this works when you exchange key/secret for a token, but what if you are JUST using API Key auth?

It actually works the same: Internally, the API Key is exchanged for a token and cached until expiration.
