For a Client SDK installation, the service management service (SMS) cache is disabled by default.
Workaround: For Web Services Security (WSS) applications, set com.sun.identity.sm.cache.enabled=false in the AMConfig.properties file; otherwise the fix for issue 3171 will not work.
For all other Client SDK applications, set com.sun.identity.sm.cache.enabled=true in the AMConfig.properties file to enable SMS caching, which can prevent performance problems.
