Methods

SetCacheOptions(ITokenCache, CacheOptions)

Options for MSAL token caches.

MSAL maintains a token cache internally in memory. By default, this cache object is part of each instance of PublicClientApplication or ConfidentialClientApplication. This method allows customization of the in-memory token cache of MSAL.

MSAL's memory cache is different than token cache serialization. Cache serialization pulls the tokens from a cache (e.g. Redis, Cosmos, or a file on disk), where they are stored in JSON format, into MSAL's internal memory cache. Memory cache operations do not involve JSON operations.

External cache serialization remains the recommended way to handle desktop apps, web site and web APIs, as it provides persistence. These options do not currently control external cache serialization.
