(DataFlex) Refresh a Dynamics CRM OAuth2 Access Token

See more OAuth2 Examples

(If a REST API call fails with a 401 unauthorized error, an application can auto-recover by refreshing the access token, and then re-send the request using the new token.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.
