Descriptionedit
User credentials are cached in memory on each node to avoid connecting to a remote authentication service or hitting the disk for every incoming request. There are realm settings that you can use to configure the user cache. For more information, see Controlling the user cache.
To evict roles from the role cache, see the Clear roles cache API.
