Considerations 
•  The life-cycle configuration of existing user private 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 KEY command 
specifying the LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE command options. 
•  Parameter value is ignored if life-cycle for user private keys is disabled (i.e. if 
LIFECYCLEPOLICYPRIVATEUSERKEY
 is set to DISABLED). 
•  Parameter value is ignored if KEY attributes LIVE-DATE and EXPIRE-DATE are specified in GENERATE 
KEY and IMPORT KEY commands (if a user is allowed to specify these attributes according to the key life-
cycle policy).

INTERVALPENDINGPUBLICUSERKEY 
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 ‘PENDING’ after creation before it switches to state ‘LIVE’. 
Parameter Syntax 
INTERVALPENDINGPUBLICUSERKEY number-of-days 
Arguments 
number-of-days 
The number of days a user public 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 added user public keys will go into state ‘LIVE’ immediately if this 
parameter is not set to a different value than 0. 
Example 
INTERVALPENDINGPUBLICUSERKEY 30
