The Layer 7 Gateway caches a certain amount of LDAP authentication requests. This allows the Gateway to balance speed with consistency for users requiring repeated authentication attempts against a directory over a short period of time. This caching is intended to increase the performance of the Gateway. To troubleshoot LDAP related authentication failures, it may be necessary to disable LDAP authentication caching for both failed and successful authentication attempts. This behavior is governed by two cluster-wide properties:
All Gateway Versions
In order to remove any and all LDAP caching, the following steps should be taken:
The cache for LDAP authentication should expire shortly and subsequent requests will not be cached. It is recommended that this behavior not be utilized in a production environment unless specified by Layer 7 Support as increased frequency of LDAP queries can result in a net negative impact to the performance of the Gateway appliance
