# SecurityTokenRefreshInterval

The time interval before a SecurityInfo token expires, in which it can be refreshed. When a user sends a request with a SecurityInfo token that is close to expiration, the Community component sends the refresh token, so that the user can continue with their session.

All query actions that accept the `SecurityInfo` parameter, return the refreshed token in the `responsedata/autn:securityinfo` element.

When you set SecurityTokenIdleTime, the SecurityInfo token expires after the specified SecurityTokenIdleTime only if the user does not use it. If the user sends a request within the configured SecurityTokenRefreshInterval of the token expiration time, Community returns a refresh token. The user can continue using the new token for a further SecurityTokenIdleTime.

NOTE: If you set `SecurityTokenRefreshTime` to zero, or to a value greater than or equal to the value of SecurityTokenLifetime, every action that you send generates a new refresh token.

Specify an interval in the following format:

    NumberTimeUnit

where,

`Number` | is the number of time units to elapse.
`TimeUnit` | is the time unit to apply. The following units are available: `second` `seconds` `minute` `minutes` `hour` `hours` `day` `days` `week` `weeks` `month` `months` `year`

NOTE: If you do not specify a `TimeUnit`, Community reads the specified number as seconds.

NOTE: The times used in the SecurityInfo strings are in Universal Coordinate Time (UTC or GMT) rather than local time.
