Token Caching ( 2nd December 2024)

We're changing the token authentication processes used for all System to System Services to implement caching. The change will be to reuse the access_token for a period of 1 hour; instead of always calling our internal authentication endpoint every time. If you currently do not cache your authentication token (otherwise known as access_token) or use the expiry time tag provided in the Equifax response message to cache the authentication code, then no further action is required of you. If you currently have caching enabled that uses a blanket timeframe then please amend this to use the expiry time tag provided in the Equifax response message.
