/AWS1/CL_GML=>GETCOMPUTEAUTHTOKEN()¶
About GetComputeAuthToken¶
Requests an authentication token from Amazon GameLift for a compute resource in an Amazon GameLift
fleet. Game servers that are running on the compute use this token to communicate
with the Amazon GameLift service, such as when calling the Amazon GameLift server SDK action
InitSDK(). Authentication tokens are valid for a limited time span, so
you need to request a fresh token before the current token expires.
Request options
-
For managed EC2 fleets (compute type
EC2), auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically. All game servers that are running on all fleet instances have access to a valid auth token. -
For Anywhere fleets (compute type
ANYWHERE), if you're using the Amazon GameLift Agent, auth token retrieval and refresh is handled automatically for any compute where the Agent is running. If you're not using the Agent, create a mechanism to retrieve and refresh auth tokens for computes that are running game server processes.
