The Platform Services Cache Daemon obtains provisioning events from the Event Journal Services component of the Core Driver. The Platform Services Cache Daemon examines each event and updates the local cache for the appropriate account record. When the daemon is run for the first time, a full sync is performed to synchronize all users and groups with the local cache. This may take some time, depending on how many users and groups you have to synchronize with the platform. However, once this full sync occurs, the data is written to a protected and encrypted local file cache for temporary storage when the cache daemon is shut down. Upon startup, this cache is loaded into memory again and updated by Event Journal Services when changes are made in eDirectory.
