Ethical Wall Policy Cache - How it Works

1 Ethical Wall Settings
2 Clear User Cache Immediately

AGAT Ethical Wall components store a cache for every Ethical Wall incident to improve calculation speed.

In this guide, we will see how to configure the cache validity, and how to clear all existing cache immediately.

Ethical Wall Settings

Policy rules memory cache time (minutes): Every X minutes the Ethical Wall engine will check the Ethical Wall policy rules to check for new policies or changes in existing policies. Still the policy might not be applied due to the cache stored for this incident. The validity of this cache is configured on the next setting - Calculated Policy cache validity period (hours).

Calculated Policy cache validity period (hours): The validity in hours of Ethical Wall cache stored for every incident (both allow\block). Higher value will improve performance. Smaller value will cause AGAT components to perform more calculations as the cache validity is shorter.

After every change you make in settings above you should get a request to restart relevant components - please click “Restart Relevant Components”.

If you don’t see a restart option, please restart all components manually from “Service Management”

Clear User Cache Immediately

If you made any change related to user policy, either in AGAT portal or in Active Directory, and you want the new policy to be applied immediately, please do this step:

Under “Ethical Wall Maintenance”, type user UPN and click “Reset Ethical Wall Data”
Restart all AGAT components
