Hi Muthurani,

Good workaround but cache is not meant to be indefinite. We should be able to set a duration for cached items in Jabber.

Is it possible disable this cache or set expiration time?

Hi Vladislav

I have the same question, do you know if there is a method to clear the cache automatically?

Regards

No, as workround for windows clients I add script with folder cleanup to logon Active Directory policy.

just stumbled across this, anyone found a way to change the cache expiry time (maybe through the jabber config file)?
