The policy refresh timing controls the timing between the initiation of a renew keys and policy lifetime 
and the deletion of the expired keys. The following entries specify the timing for the policy refresh.

#### Policy refresh timing
# Policy refresh delete delay (1-120 minutes)
minutesAfterRefreshExpireBeforeDelete=30

# Policy refresh buffer for daily refresh (1-120 minutes)
maxBufferMinutesBeforeDailyRefresh=20

The following parameters define the ETKMS to PEP communications timing.

#### General Communication Timing
# Initial wait (1-1200 Seconds)
initialRetryWaitTime=300

# Retry wait (1-1200 Seconds)
retryWaitTime=300

# Retry count (1-100)
retryCount=1

# Max retry wait (1-1200 Seconds)
maxRetryWaitTime=300

#### PEP Extended Communication Timing
# Initial PEP retry wait (1-1200 Seconds)
initialPEPRetryWaitTime=360

# PEP retry count before starting final wait (1-100)
initialPEPRetryCount=12

# Final PEP retry wait (1-1200 Seconds)
finalPEPRetryWaitTime=600

These entries divide the timing into general communications timing and extended communications 
timing. 

The general timing defines a group of communication attempts defined by

 retryCount

. The time 

between the first communication attempt and the second is defined by the

 initialRetryWaitTime

. 

The time between the second and third attempt is defined by

 maxRetryWaitTime

. This continues for n 

communications attempts as defined by

 retryCount 

or until

 maxRetryWaitTime 

is reached. This 

process is repeated as defined by the extended communications parameters.

minutesAfterRefreshExpireBeforeDelete

Specifies in minutes the time the PEP waits after a 
Refresh before it deletes the old keys.

maxBufferMinutesBeforeDailyRefresh

Specifies in minutes the earliest time in which a 
Refresh is issued.
