Problems with names.nsf refresh
At work, we experienced an interesting problem. We use public servers names.nsf to register new web users. However, a couple of months back, that suddenly stopped working. A person document was created, user was added to all required groups, but upon login, a user would obtain an error that he is not authorized to perform that operation. The only thing that did the trick was to restart domino server.
We opened PMR and had a huge testing with IBM support team. However, it was not until LotusSphere, when one of our developers got a hint we never expected. In servers .ini file, there was a following line: NLCACHE_VERSION=4. Now, apparently setting NLCACHE_VERSION to value 4 causes some sort of a bug that stops cache from refreshing. However, if you delete parameter from .ini file, default value of 2 will be set for this parameter and everything will work just fine.

hi i seem to be having a similar problem but this is in Domino 6.5 (as NLCACHE is only for 7.0 up right?).
Fairly often we update Groups and their members as they are set as post titles and users of that post would belong to that group.
problem comes when those details are changed and yet not recognised or fails to be purged from the cache.
at the moment im researching in the direction of database cache (dbcache) but was just wondering if there might be the possibility of a setting similar to NLCACHE in Dom 6..

NLCACHE_VERSION parameter was introduced with Domino 7.x (applies for 8.x as well), so it doesn’t do you much good in Domino 6.x. As far as I know (and I could be wrong), the only method to flush your cache in Domino 6 is to type
show nlcache resetto server console. I am aware this cannot be a permanent solution.Mind you, we never experienced this issues while using Domino 6.x . I googled the web a bit and located two interesting articles:

Hope it helps.

Hey, nice tips. Perhaps I’ll buy a bottle of beer to the person from that chat who told me to go to your blog 🙂
