Hi,
I've set up an ldap backend, with a pcache overlay to cache binds for PAM. The config is below, for info.
My question concerns the pcachePersist parameter. From the man page:
pcachePersist { TRUE | FALSE } Specify whether the cached queries should be saved across restarts of the caching proxy, to provide hot startup of the cache. Only non-expired queries are reloaded. The default is FALSE.
As I understand this, given "pcachePersist FALSE" (or not specified), cached queries should no longer be in the cache after restarting slapd. Am I right?
However, once a bind is successfully cached, I take the proxied server offline and I can restart slapd many times, however my bind is still served from cache.
Is this a bug in the docs, a bug in the implementation or just me not getting something?
Thanks, Jonathan
PS: the simplified config: 8<-------------- database ldap suffix "dc=proxy" rootdn "cn=manager,dc=proxy" uri ldap://my.other.ldap.server/ timeout 5
