4.
The contents of in-memory file cache closely follow that of the disk cache. If a disk
file is updated, the disk file in-memory version gets updated during the next
request.
For more information about in-memory file cache configuration, see:

3.2.23 Using Proxy Arrays
Note the following about proxy arrays.
■ Once you create a proxy array, but before generating a PAC file from your PAT file,
proxy array must be explicitly enabled using the Configure System Preferences page
in the administration GUI.
■ While configuring a non-master proxy array member, the URL field should be set
to
http://MasterProxy/pat where MasterProxy is the FQDN of the master proxy.
Ensure that the master proxy is configured to have a pat mapping which maps
/pat to the master proxy's pat file.
For more information about proxy arrays, see:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21692_01/821-1882/6nmr9g0ap/index.html
3.2.24 Information About the forward-auth-user SAF
As a fix for bug 13693179, a new SAF forward-auth-user is introduced in Oracle
iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.19. This SAF is applicable for
ObjectType directives.
The
forward-auth-user SAF instructs the proxy server to forward the authenticated
user name to remote servers. The SAF takes an optional parameter,
hdr , which
specifies the name of the HTTP request header used to communicate the authenticated
user name. The default value of the
hdr parameter is Proxy-auth-user .
The following is the syntax of the
forward-auth-user SAF:
ObjectType fn="forward-auth-user" [hdr="request_header"]
request_header is the name of the HTTP request header that should be used to
communicate the authenticated user name to the servers in the back end.
