Method __init__(self, timeout, update_stamp, service_equiv, cleanup_threshold)

This constructor initializes and registers an AuthCache instance that can be referenced in authentication policies.

Arguments of __init__
cleanup_threshold (integer)
Default: 100
When the number of entries in the cache reaches the value of cleanup_threshold, old entries are automatically deleted.

service_equiv (boolean)
Default: FALSE
If enabled, then a single authentication of a user applies to every service from that client.

timeout (integer)
Default: 600
Timeout while an authentication is assumed to be valid.

update_stamp (boolean)
Default: TRUE
If set to TRUE, then cached authentications increase the validity period of the authentication cache. Otherwise, the authentication cache expires according to the timeout value set in attribute timeout.
