TTL Properties

The following properties relate to the cache Time To Live (TTL). TTL is a limit on the period of time before data in the cache should be discarded. These TTL properties are not included in AMConfig.properties by default but can be added as needed. These are the Service Management TTL properties.

• com.sun.identity.sm.cache.ttl.enable enables the TTL function for the Service Management cache with a default value of true.

• com.sun.identity.sm.cache.ttl limits the time (in minutes) to the defined value; by default, 30.

These are the Identity Repository TTL properties.

• com.sun.identity.idm.cache.entry.expire.enabled takes a value of true or false which enables or disables, respectively, the Identity Repository TTL feature.

• com.sun.identity.idm.cache.entry.user.expire.time specifies the time (in minutes) that user Identity Repository cache entries remain valid after their last modification. In other words, after the specified time has elapsed (following a modification or directory read), the data for the cached entry will expire and new requests for this data must be read from the directory. The default value is one minute.

• com.sun.identity.idm.cache.entry.default.expire.time specifies the time (in minutes) that non-user Identity Repository cache entries remain valid after their last modification. In other words, after the specified time has elapsed (following a modification or directory read), the data for the cached entry will expire and new requests for this data must be read from the directory. The default value is one minute.

For backwards compatibility, these are the properties to configure the TTL feature for the com.iplanet.am.sdk classes.

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.cache.entry.expire.enabled takes a value of true or false which enables or disables, respectively, the TTL feature for the com.iplanet.am.sdk classes.

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.cache.entry.user.expire.time specifies the time (in minutes) that user cache entries remain valid after their last modification. The default value is one minute.

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.cache.entry.default.expire.time specifies the time (in minutes) that non-user cache entries remain valid after their last modification. The default value is one minute.
