Ways to set refresh token or extend expiration of ADAL token for long running operations

[jkotalik]

Gah, I hate that pressing enter after entering a title automatically creates the issue 😵‍💫

I'm currently using autorest with CLI auth for some long running operations, and occasionally, I see the following error:

Future#WaitForCompletion: the number of retries has been exceeded: StatusCode=401 -- Original Error: Code="ExpiredAuthenticationToken" Message="The access token expiry UTC time '5/25/2021 7:50:32 PM' is earlier than current UTC time '5/25/2021 7:54:13 PM'."

I'm currently calling NewAuthorizerFromCLIWithResource to obtain the Authorizer. From what I can tell, this:

• Gets a CLI token by invoking az account get-access-token
• Converts it to ADALToken
• Returns a bearer authorizer wrapping the ADALToken.

When debugging this code, I noticed a few things:

• The token returned from az account get-access-token will expire anywhere between 5 and 60 minutes.
• The refresh token will be empty.
• The ExpiresIn is hard coded to 60 minutes.

I'm trying to figure out ways to either extend the lifetime or refresh this token. Any suggestions?
