=== Disabling Caching

To disable the realm or user cache, you must edit the `standalone.xml`, `standalone-ha.xml`,
 or `domain.xml` file in your distribution.  The location of this file 
depends on your <<_operating-mode, operating mode>>.  
Here's what the config looks like initially.


[source,xml]
----

    <spi name="userCache">
        <provider name="default" enabled="true"/>
    </spi>

    <spi name="realmCache">
        <provider name="default" enabled="true"/>
    </spi>

----

To disable the cache set the `enabled` attribute to false for the cache you want to disable.  You must reboot your
server for this change to take effect.
