Disabling Browser Caching
Because the Gateway component provides secure access to back end corporate data from any location using just a web browser, the information should not be cached locally by the client.
You can disable caching of pages redirected through the Gateway by modifying the attribute in the platform.conf file of the specific Gateway.
Disabling this option can have an impact on the Gateway performance. Every time the standard Portal Desktop is refreshed, the Gateway has to retrieve everything referenced by the page, such as images that might have been previously cached by the browser. However, enabling this feature, means that remotely accessing secure content will not leave a cached footprint on the client site. This factor could outweigh performance implications if the corporate network is being accessed from an Internet cafe or similar remote location that is not under corporate IT control.
