Cache TTL:

  If the module has a configurable cache for holding responses from the security manager, enter the maximum time in seconds that an entry in the cache can be used to satisfy requests before the details must be requeried from the security manager.

Properties

  Click this to access pages for the management of users, groups and resources controlled by this security manager.

  Note: You will only be able to manage users, groups and resources where the security manager is on the priority list used by Directory Server. That is:

  - if Directory Server uses the Default ES Security configuration, the security manager must be on the Default ES Security manager list
  - if Directory Server uses its own configuration options, the security manager must be on the Directory Server's own security manager list

  In addition, the ESM module and the external security manager to which it connects must also support user, group and resource administration via the Security Facility.
