If the Vault account's configuration type contains the value SSH_KEY, the corresponding field has been expanded to display up to 65 characters to allow the full SSH_KEY value to be visible. Additionally, a button has been added to the screen to allow the SSH_KEY parameter to be copied. By pressing this button, the user can copy the SSH_KEY value to the clipboard and use it wherever needed.

- Possible values for the Expiration Time are configured with the sapm.show.password.expiration.time.values property from the System Config. Man. screen. The default value is “5m,30m,2h,24h”. Options are separated with commas, “m” stands for minutes, and “h” stands for hours.
- The minimum length of the comment (in characters) that should be entered during password check-out is configured with the sapm.show.password.comment.min.length property from the System Config. Man. screen.
- The Send Mail button that appears in the Check Out Password popup can be removed, by configuring the sapm.account.password.send.mail.button parameter as false in the System Config Manager.
