}
3 Edit the template as desired. The template is populated with default values. In this example, the value
of provider-ExpirationDate is set to the time at which the template was requested in UTC. Edit this
value (for example, to change the expiration to a month from now).
4 Use a POST command to send the template without modification to the corresponding URI.
