refreshAuthLogic is not recalled on a second failure

Assume that you are making a request which returns a 401.

refreshAuthLogic will be called as it should and this second request is returning again a 401. This second failure is not triggering refreshAuthLogic again, is this intentional?

Is there any way to re-trigger the callback?

My scenario goes as follows: A web application is utilizing the UMA flow which uses RPT Tokens to access resources. RPT tokens are cached and they may expire. On expiration a 401 is issued and I retry using a normal access token which will respond (again) with a 401 and a permission ticket which in turn will be exchanged for a new RPT token. So the scenario is request -> 401 -> request again -> 401 -> request again -> possibly 200

I had the same problem, and solution provided by @CteixeiraPW seems to work; In my code I made this change.

Before

 createAuthRefreshInterceptor(api.axiosInstance, refreshAuthLogic(api));

After

  createAuthRefreshInterceptor(api.axiosInstance, refreshAuthLogic(api), {
    pauseInstanceWhileRefreshing: true,
  });

  api.axiosInstance.interceptors.response.use(
    (response) => response,
    async (error) => {
      const request = error.config;
      if (request.skipAuthRefresh) return error;

      if (
        error &&
        error.response &&
        error.response.status === 401 &&
        error.response.headers['www-authenticate'] === 'Bearer'
      ) {
        // let's retry
        return api.axiosInstance(request);
      }

      throw error;
    }
  );

I think it was because I set pauseInstanceWhileRefreshing to true but if I remove it, the second request is sent with the old token
