INTERVALLIVEPUBLICUSERKEY 
This parameter is related to a user public key’s life-cycle (configuration of database entity USER). It determines the 
length of the interval a user public key stays in state ‘LIVE’. 
Parameter Syntax 
INTERVALLIVEPUBLICUSERKEY number-of-days 
Arguments 
number-of-days 
The number of days a user public key will be in state ‘LIVE’ after leaving state ’PENDING’ and before 
reaching state ‘EXPIRED’. 
Default 
The default value for this parameter is 730, i.e. 2 years. 
Example 
INTERVALLIVEPUBLICUSERKEY 1460 
Considerations 
•  The life-cycle configuration of existing user public keys will not be modified due to this parameter. If existing 
keys need to participate in life-cycle control, then they must be configured via ALTER USER, PUBLICKEY 
command specifying the LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE command options. 
•  Parameter value is ignored if life-cycle for user public keys is disabled (i.e. if 
LIFECYCLEPOLICYPUBLICUSERKEY
 is set to DISABLED). 
•  Parameter value is ignored if USER PUBLICKEY attributes LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE are specified in 
ALTER USER PUBLICKEY commands (if a user is allowed to specify these attributes according to the key 
lifecycle policy).

INTERVALPENDINGPRIVATEUSERKEY 
This parameter is related to a user private key’s life-cycle (configuration of database entity KEY). It determines the 
length of the interval a user private key stays in state ‘PENDING’ after creation before it switches to state ‘LIVE’.  
Parameter Syntax 
INTERVALPENDINGPRIVATEUSERKEY number-of-days 
Arguments 
 number-of-days 
The number of days a newly generated user private key will be in state ‘PENDING’ after creation and before 
reaching state ‘LIVE’. 
Default 
The default value for this parameter is 0, i.e. newly generated key will go into state ‘LIVE’ immediately if this parameter 
is not set to a different value than 0. 
Example 
INTERVALPENDINGPRIVATEUSERKEY 30
