The number of days from provisioning until the device certificate expires (integer).

The product configuration file for all eSecIP editions.

Description

Use this field to set the number of days until the device certificate expires, counted from when the device certificate is provisioned.

This field is mandatory in a certificates configuration object.

Example
"expiry": 4000

This value makes the device certificate expire 4,000 days after it was created, in other words, just under eleven years.
