Connector Exception 9: Blank token property on Thing
This exception appears if a Thing that was communicating for a long time no longer appears to be communicating. A symptom could be that its lastConnected property is not updating or that expected data updates are not showing up. Note that if a Thing name is null, token authentication always fails. For more information, refer to Observation 2: The lastConnection property of the Thing does not update and Observation 3: Asset was communicating earlier, but now it does not communicate.
This scenario is almost identical to Connector Exception 8. The only difference is that the check box for the setting, Upload Token on First Message, in the TokenPropertyAuthenticator configuration, would need to be cleared. Once it is cleared, setting a missing (or blank) token would result in a token authentication failure.
For information about the token property, configuration of the TokenPropertyAuthenticator, behavior of the TokenPropertyAuthenticator, and resetting a token, refer to the following topics:
