Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are provided to generate and transmit a request to obtain a resource object stored in a clustered network database that stores keys; determine based on a value of the resource object carried in a response, whether permission to update the keys is permitted, wherein a first value of the resource object grants permission and a second value of the resource object does not grant permission; determine whether any of the keys expired in response to receiving permission, wherein other network devices configured to update the keys are prevented from updating the keys while the network device is granted permission; generate a new key for each key of the keys that expired; and store the new key for each key; and release the resource object back to the clustered network database.
