* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Support is needed to cache security     *
*                      subject. This will result in a          *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A performance improvement has been added to allow the caching
of security Subjects during login.  Once a user has logged in,
a security Subject will be cached to improve the performance
of subsequent logins for the user.
Problem conclusion
Security Caching is turned on by default.  There is a default
timeout of 30 minutes.  When the timeout expires, the cache is
purged.
There is a java property to enable/disable caching.  The
property is:
com.ibm.websphere.security.util.authCacheEnabled

Set this property to false or no to disable caching. Any
other value enables caching.

There is a property for setting the size of the cache. The
property is:

com.ibm.websphere.security.util.authCacheSize

Set this property to the initial number of entries you want in
the cache.

Cache timeout is set via the administration console.  See the
infocenter for more information on the Security Cache
properties.
