au-cache-mode

This command sets the caching mode for authentication results.

Syntax

au-cache-mode { absolute | disabled | maximum | minimum }

Parameters

absolute: Caches the results of user authentications for a period of time specified by the au-cache-ttl command (the explicit time-to-live).
disabled: Disables caching. The system will not cache any results and instead always authenticate every time a user requests access.
maximum: Compares the explicit TTL to the TTL contained in the response (if any) and cache authentication results for the maximum of the two values. This setting is the default value.
minimum: Compares the explicit TTL to the TTL contained in the response (if any) and cache authentication results for the minimum of the two values.

Guidelines

The au-cache-mode command establishes the required caching mode for authentication results. Use the au-cache-ttl command to establish the explicit TTL.

Example

Cache authentication results for the maximum amount of time.

# au-cache-mode maximum
