Flush the CacheFlush the Cache
Flush the cache to remove old information from memory. When you flush the cache, each selected object is refreshed from the database the next time it is accessed.
Cache contents are refreshed every 10 minutes. Depending on cache settings, database replicated changes to cached data may take up to 10 minutes to display on all instances after a change occurs on the primary. If you do not want to wait for the automatic 10-minute refresh, you can flush the cache on each individual instance.
Before you begin
You must be an Operations Console administrator and a Super Admin.
Procedure
-
In the Operations Console, on the machine where you want to flush the cache, click Maintenance > Flush Cache.
-
If prompted, enter your Super Admin User ID and password, and click OK.

Under Flush Cache, do one of the following:
-
Select Flush all cache objects to flush all the caches, and click Flush.
-
Select Flush specific cache objects, select the specific caches that you want to flush, and click Flush.

Cached System ObjectsCached System Objects
RSA Authentication Manager saves the following system objects in the cache on each Authentication Manager instance. The data saved in the cache is specific to each primary or replica instance. For example, the instance that approves a user passcode would save information on the hardware or software token, the authentication policies that apply to that user, any user groups that include the user, the authentication agent that sent the authentication request, and so forth.
