RE: Browser security delay

["Robert Russell" <Robert.Russell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some security checks are cached to reduce the number of calls occurring between 
the client and the server.  If a task returns a positive response (user is 
authorized) it is cached.  If a task returns a negative response it is not 
cached.  Due to the number of times they could be checked, all Field level 
security checks are cached.  I am not sure when we cache user definition 
(views,cards) security calls.  I pretty sure the cache should be cleared when 
the user signs off.  There may also be a performance setting that allows you to 
specify how long the value is cached.  I will look into this some more in the 
morning.  If you have more specific information about the task, sub-task and 
whether you were authorize or revoking authority. Also, remember if the task 
was unlocked it is treated as authorized.
 
The reason for not caching the negative responses was to allow someone to 
contact the security administrator and get authority without have to log off.

Subject: Browser security delay



        Hello everyone:
        
        We sometimes experience a delay of two to three days after we authorize
        someone to a task before it actually works in browser. The first time it
        happened we called it in to MAPICS Support and they noticed that there
        is no delay in green screen but didn't discover anything else before it
        finally started working. Since then it has happened a handful of other
        times that I know of and I didn't bother to call it in again.
        
        Any ideas about what is happening?
        
        Thank you,
