Configure the Confidential Manager Client’s Cache Mode on the Probe

The Confidential Manager client stores credentials information in the cache and updates it when the information changes on the Server. The cache can be stored on the file system or in memory:

  • When stored on the file system, even if the Probe is restarted and cannot connect to the Server, the credentials information is still available.
  • When stored in memory, if the Probe is restarted, the cache is cleared and all information is retrieved again from the Server. If the Server is not available, the Probe does not include any credentials, so no discovery or integration can run.

To change this setting:

  1. Open the DataFlowProbe.properties file in a text editor. This file is located in the c:\UCMDB\DataFlowProbe\conf folder.
  2. Locate the following attribute: com.hp.ucmdb.discovery.common.security.storeCMData=true

    • To store the information on the file system, leave the default (true).

    • To store the information in memory, enter false.

  3. Save the DataFlowProbe.properties file.
  4. Restart the Probe.
