Questions on VIP credentials

[Ain Abdullah]

Hi all,

I have a few questions related on VIP credential list.

Based on this list,

Q1: What does it mean when a credential is enabled but does not have a last validated date? Does this mean the credential is not used/validated yet?

Q2: What about a credential that has a last validated date of more than 1 year ago? Is the credential being used once and never been used again?

Q3: As the credential is not assigned to any user, can the same credential be reused by another user?

This is from https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/176554/unable-to-delete-inactive-credentials-or.html

Q: If the administrator set a credential to expire within specified days, can the same credential be reused by another user after setting the credentials back to active?

Thanks.

Regards,

Ain
