Use the stand-alone tool to clear the LDAP cache and make
changes to LDAP users and groups visible immediately in the Application
Center.
About this task
When the Application Center is configured with LDAP, changes
to users and groups on the LDAP server become visible to the Application
Center after a delay. The Application Center maintains a cache of
LDAP data and the changes only become visible after the cache expires.
By default, the delay is 24 hours. If you do not want to wait for
this delay to expire after changes to users or groups, you can call
the stand-alone tool from the command line to clear the cache of LDAP
data. By using the stand-alone tool to clear the cache, the changes
become visible immediately.
