Default Expiration Rule for New Keys - CyberKey expiration takes effect as soon as it ceases tobe the day or date of expiration. For most expiration rules, that means the key will work till the endof the day or date specified. The key will expire as soon as the clock rolls to 12:00am, since thedate will have advanced. Expirations rules of "minutes" or "hours" will set the key to stop workingat a specific hour and minute of the day.Docking key will extend expiration - Another option is to have the expiration move furtherahead every time the key is updated. This rule is often called a rolling expiration. Since there isno set day or date for key expiration, the key's next expiration is calculated when the key isupdated at a communicator. Each time the key is docked at an Authorizer or IR Encoder, thetime until expiration is reset to the interval specified in the input fields. Note that rollingexpiration by days, weeks, or months extends the key's expiration to midnight(relative to thetime zone of the Authorizer contacted) of the last day.Example: A key with a one day extend expiration updated today at a communicator will be setto expire at the end of the day tomorrow.Note: A rolling expiration of minutes or hours takes priority over the time frames assigned tomaster keys. For example if a master key has a 24 hour rolling expiration and the key isupdated at 10am on Wednesday, it will continue to operate until 10am on Thursday even if timeframes for the master key indicate that key cannot operate on a Thursday.Never Expire - This involves the least keyholder interaction but is the least secure expirationrule because a lost or stolen key can pose an ongoing threat to security. It removes the need toregularly update the key so there will likely be no current audit trail data available for that key.Fixed period expiration rules - The following rules select a specific day of the week, month,or year or the end of a quarter as the key expiration target date.Day of the Week - Select this expiration rule to make the key expire on a specific day ofthe week. The key will function through the end of the selected day, and stop working atmidnight (00:00) of the following day.Monthly Expiration - Select this expiration rule to make the key expire on a specific dayevery month. The key will function through the end of the selected day, expiring atmidnight. If the key should expire on the last day of every month, select the "End ofmonth" option from the bottom of the pull-down menu.Quarterly - If this option is selected, the date of expiration will be set to the end of everythird month, beginning January 1st. Expiration dates will be 31 March, 30 June, 30 Sept.,and 31 Dec.Yearly - Expiration occurs at the end of the selected day.Expiration Renewal Grace - This setting allows a key holder to renew their key before the keyexpires where CyberAudit-Web will move the expiration ahead to the next expiration day, ratherthan the current one. For example, if a key is set to expire weekly on Fridays, and the renewalperiod is set to 12PM, 1 day prior to expiration, the key can be renewed by docking it at acommunicator anytime after Noon on a Friday. The key will then be set to expire the nextFriday. It is set to (1) day prior because expiration occurs at 12AM midnight of the next daywhich is Saturday in this example.
