Clearing the LDAP profile cache
You can clear the FortiMail unit’s cache of query results for any LDAP profile.
This may be useful after, for example, you have updated parts of your LDAP directory that are used by that LDAP profile, and you want the FortiMail unit to discard outdated cached query results and reflect changes to the LDAP directory. After the cache is emptied, any subsequent request for information from that LDAP profile causes the FortiMail unit to query the updated LDAP server, refreshing the cache.
To clear the LDAP query cache
1. Go to Profile > LDAP > LDAP.
2. Double-click the LDAP profile whose query cache you want to clear.
3. Click Test LDAP Query.
4. From Select query type, select Clear Cache.
A warning appears at the bottom of the window, notifying you that the cache for this LDAP profile will be cleared if you proceed. All queries will therefore be new again, resulting in decreased performance until the query results are again cached.
5. Click Ok.
The FortiMail unit empties cached LDAP query responses associated with that LDAP profile.
