Filenet workplace access roles (active directory groups) refresh rate

i have applied access roles for primary views and the access roles are assigned to groups.

ISSUE: i have page to add/remove users from those active directory groups, and i can verify from active directory that user was added/removed from group, but the user still see the old pages he was assigned to.

I noticed that the access roles is refreshed when i restart the websphere server that has the content engine.

please advise how to fix this issue.

UPDATE: my content engine server cache configuration

Solution

  • FileNet Workplace relies on Content Engine API regarding information about directory users/groups. Content Engine has server cache where information retrieved from directory server is stored. It might be that changes that you made in AD are not reflected there (yet). The easiest way to fix this is to restart Content Engine.

    You can also adjust corresponding TTL entires in Content Engine configuration:

    The workplace users/groups cache is managed by Cached Memory Timeout in process engine as mentioned here http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/p8docs/v4r5m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.p8.doc%2Fpe_help%2Fadmin_hb%2Fwfa_user_cache.htm and the minimum time is one hour.
