Setting Server Options

Minutes between Cache Refresh
The Novell® SecretStore® service caches some application-specific settings, such as those needed for NMASTM to enforce Graded Authentication on ReadSecret operations. This cache helps the service respond to requests more quickly. The default is 30 minutes between refreshes of the server cache.  The minimum is 30 minutes (1/2 hour). The maximum is 1,440 minutes (24 hours).

Consider increasing the time for the following situations:

If an immediate update of the cache is needed, unload and reload the SecretStore service.

Update Time Stamp on ReadSecret
To have the SecretStore service record time stamp information on all ReadSecret operations, check the check box for this setting.

By default, the SecretStore service doesn't update the time stamp. If you want to update the time stamp when a secret is read, check the check box. Every read then becomes a write. Updating requires more time.

Disable Master Password Operations
To disallow all Enhanced Protection Master Password operations, check the check box for this setting. Then users cannot set or use their master password to unlock SecretStore.
