Using MS Graph API driveItem: preview driveItem: preview to edit word document online.

Displaying the MS Word web URL in iframe:

The word document file is getting uploaded to OneDrive. In application getting the web URL to open the word document in browser.

Preview Link :

https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/me/drive/items/01ZPAXLBD2POPCRU7F3RBZK6SVMTFJ7LVZ/preview

Issue:

If user remains idle in the web page for few minutes and access any link in the web page, System displaying

`{"error_description":"Invalid JWT token. The token is expired."}` instead of word editor embedded in `iframe`

The official document has stated it clear:

This action allows you to obtain short-lived embeddable URLs for an item in order to render a temporary preview.

If you want to obtain long-lived embeddable links, use the createLink API instead.

This endpoint only provides a short-lived embeddable URL.

We can find that there is an access_token in the returned link (getUrl):

https://tenant-my.sharepoint.com/personal/allenwu_tenant_onmicrosoft_com/_layouts/15/embed.aspx?uniqueId=ef*****c-e100-4dcd-a47c-f9c2c*****88&access_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJ***

If you decode it in https://jwt.io, you will get the exp claim which means the expiration time of the access token. Copy the value of exp and convert it to date in this link: https://timestamp.online/. Then we can see the actual lifetime of this access token is about 5 minutes.

So user remains idle and then get Invalid JWT token. The token is expired. error. It is expected.

If you want to get long-lived embeddable links, use the createLink API instead as the document suggested.

  • Is there any way we can increase the lifetime of the access token from 5 minutes to 15minutes. – Mihir Feb 04 '21 at 09:33
  • @Mihir Not sure about it. There is no related official document I can find. – Allen Wu Feb 04 '21 at 09:34
  • @Mihir Is there anything I can help with? If my answer is helpful for you, you can accept it as answer. Thank you. – Allen Wu Feb 05 '21 at 06:20
  • How I can see the JWT token in the web URL of previewlink which is mapped to src attribute of iframe.. – Mihir Feb 12 '21 at 06:25
