Refreshing the Cache

CA Advanced Authentication caches certain data, which serves frequently-accessed Console pages and UDS data faster. Typically, organizations and roles are cached. CA Risk Authentication maintains cached data at the system level and at the organization level.

Data Cached at the System Level

The following data is cached at the system level:

All system-level configurations
- UDS configuration and UDS connectivity
- LDAP connection pool details
- List of organizations
- Global key label
- Account type details
- Custom roles
Global data
- Encryption sets
- Localization configuration
- Email and Telephone types
- Authentication and Authorization configuration
Resources applicable to all organizations
Global account types that are applicable to all organizations

Data Cached at the Organization Level

The following data is cached at the organization level:

Data that is applicable to individual organizations
Configurations that do not refer to global data, such as encryption set, localization configuration, and email and telephone types
Resources applicable to a set of organizations
Organization-specific account types
Rules

Important! When you make data configuration changes that involve both system-level and organization-level changes, the system cache is refreshed first, followed by the organization cache. Any change in this order of cache refresh may result in inconsistent behavior.

Cache Refresh Order Example

Account type details and global account types are cached at the system level. Whenever you create a new account type, irrespective of whether it is global or organization-specific, you must refresh the system cache. In addition, if the account type is organization-specific, you must refresh the cache of all the organizations involved in the scope. For more information on account types, see "Configuring the Account Type".
