    Alternatively, you can use the controls next to the External Attribute Cache list to create, edit, or remove external Redis caches:

    • Click the Plus icon to create a new external attribute cache.

    • Click the Pencil icon to edit the configuration of the selected attribute cache.

    • Click X to remove the attribute cache from the Policy Decision Service and revert the PDP to an in-memory attribute cache.
