# Retain Session Cache After Configuration Change

Use this property to manage how the session cache is used after a change to the agent configuration:

* `0`: Purge the session cache, and re-read the user session data.

* `1`: Do not purge the session cache, and do not re-read the user session data. Use this value to prevent the agent from flooding AM instances with requests, when the agent configuration changes regularly, and the changes do not affect the agent authorisation decisions.

Default: `0`
