Time to live

For the different types of tokens used by OAuth, different validity periods, that is, Time To Live (TTL) may be defined. After the defined TTL has passed, the token will expire and a new token has to be obtained.

In the nevisMeta GUI, TTL values may be entered in seconds ("20s"), minutes ("45min"), hours ("2h") or days ("100d"). Values are converted to the biggest unit, if possible: e.g., "3710s" → "1h 1min 50s"; "5000h" → "208d 8h".

The TTL default values are defined per setup (see the chapter "Setup"), but each client may define its specific values by overriding the default value.
