Note that if the SSH admin Life and SSH helpdesk Life fields are left at 0, the password never expires 

(recommended for lab testing scenarios). If this value is not 0, it is up to the administrator to make sure that 

passwords are changed before the specified interval to ensure that anyone or any application can perform SSH in 

the device, including Cisco Prime Collaboration,

default. If you want to troubleshoot video sessions from Cisco TelePresence devices using Cisco Prime
