The Second Password expiration parameter should be defined in the System Config Manager. The TTL day parameter defines the maximum use time allowed for the Second Password. 

  1. Navigate to Administration > System Config Man
  2. Add the aioc.second.password.ttl parameter with a value (in days). 

If this value is set to "-1" and “0”, the SSH Key will never expire. The TTL value can be set between -1 and 10000.
