Cache Tables

There are three types of kernel cache tables:

• F cache—The file cache table caches the results of previous authorization requests.

  When an identical authorization request is made, CA ControlMinder answers the request with the last response that is stored in the file cache table.

  Note: The file cache tables is cleaned every 30 minutes and whenever a record changes in the following classes: CALENDAR, CONTAINER, FILE, GFILE, GROUP, HOLIDAY, PROGRAM, SECLABEL, SECLEVEL, SHIFT, and USER.

• InoCach—The inode cache table caches resolved inode numbers.

  When CA ControlMinder needs to resolve an inode number to a file name, it checks the InoCach table before it checks the file system.

• NetwDCM—The network cache table stores accepted, incoming TCP requests.

  When CA ControlMinder receives an incoming TCP request that is identical to a request in the network cache, CA ControlMinder automatically permits the request.

You can use the secons utility to display, clean, enable, and disable kernel cache tables.
