Cache Enable Properties

Two main components that rely heavily on caching for performance and improved user experience are the Service Management and Identity Repository classes. A combination of true and false values defined for the following three properties will enable and disable the respective cache.

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled enables both caches when set to true (default). A value of false disables both caches.

• com.sun.identity.idm.cache.enabled controls the Identity Repository cache. When com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled is set to false, enable this cache (separately from the Service Management cache) with a value of true. A value of false keeps it disabled.

• com.sun.identity.sm.cache.enabled controls the Service Management cache. When com.iplanet.am.sdk.caching.enabled is set to false, enable this cache (separately from the Identity Repository cache) with a value of true. A value of false keeps it disabled.

Additional cache configuration properties include:

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.cache.maxSize limits the size of the Identity Repository cache to, by default, 10000 entries. There is no corresponding entry to limit the cache size for the Service Management cache.

• com.sun.identity.sm.cacheTime is the update time (in minutes) for the Service Management cache when polling is enabled.

• com.iplanet.am.sdk.remote.pollingTime is the update time (in minutes) for Identity Repository cache when polling is enabled.

Additional cache properties are in Policy Logging and Caching Properties.
