Running ibeam for workflow services?

Describe the feature Thanks for the package. It is super useful. Not sure if this would be an enhancement though.

I am trying to set up monthly auto investment (like what we did in retirement account).

1. Currently I am using Python schedule lib to set up the recurring job. I want to evaluate some workflow service for better retry/error handling (e.g. AWS Step function, Cadence), is it feasible to use ibeam for the auth and how to do it?
2. Is it recommended to turn off IBKR Secure Login System for API auth? I have it enabled on my account. I need to manually approve the auth on my phone when the log in is required. I have voyz/ibeam:0.4.0-rc1 running for more than 1 week. The gateway auth returned errors almost every other day (Sorry the ibeam auth logs were purged), and it would require re-login . I have to manually approve the auth on my phone.

I am still very new to all IBKR API and Auth part.

You can create a new user linked to your main account. I believe it’s restricted to only one user that runs alongside with the primary account holder. On that user you make sure to not activate 2FA because once it’s enabled you can’t turn it off. I’m using that second user in ibeam. This is also very nice because you can log in anytime in TWS or the client portal with your main user without taking away the session of the user logged into ibeam. My main user has 2FA enabled but the 2nd user has not 2FA enabled. Technically a security risk but it’s the only way to properly run ibeam without any user interaction or google auth shananigans. What might make it secure but I haven’t tried yet , is restricting the user to only be allowed to login from specific IPs which would than be my cloud machine running ibeam. That might be something worth investigating but I haven’t bothered yet.

@Voyz Your new update came just in time with both my paper and live account loosing connections. IBeam was able to re-establish the connection without competing but than the brokerage account responses were empty. I updated to rc5 and manually caused a logout with postman and after IBeam logged in again it was competing. The new logic than worked and restarted as expected and sent the reauthenticate request which fixed the empty brokerage response: Thanks for the quick update. I’ll keep monitoring this and hopefully that empty brokerage response problem will be a thing of the past.
