Environment

Web Agent: 12.52 Any Supported Version

Resolution

SitMinder agent does not add the cache control header "no-store" to all the transactions. It will be added only to .fcc pages & logout url as we don not want .fcc pages and logout page to be cached. Pages will be not be cached with no-store header.
