About caching policies
A successful policy validation in CIP can be cached for a specific period of time (Time to Live - TTL). During this time, the cached policy is always evaluated successfully. You have the following options when setting the cache TTL:
-
No value set - the policy is not cached (default setting)
-
0
- the policy is cached permanently (infinite TTL) -
Non-zero number - cache TTL is set to the entered value (in seconds)
