Description
editTwo, separate caches exist for service account tokens: one cache for tokens
backed by the service_tokens
file, and another for tokens backed by the
.security
index. This API clears matching entries from both caches.
The cache for service account tokens backed by the .security
index is cleared
automatically on state changes of the security index. The cache for tokens
backed by the service_tokens
file is cleared automatically on file changes.
See Service accounts for more information.
