The function `getAccessTokenSilently` has the option to `ignoreCache`  
[https://auth0.github.io/auth0-spa-js/interfaces/gettokensilentlyoptions.html#ignorecache](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-spa-js/interfaces/gettokensilentlyoptions.html#ignorecache)

What is the TTL of this cache on the auth0 side, and is there a way to change it?

I’m asking because in the use case of a SPA using SSO within the context of the host site, if the host site is logged out there is potential for the SPA to still have the original access if a different user logs into the host site and I’d like to disable or make this cache as small as possible.

Thanks!

I think the cache is referring to the auth0 session described here:

> **[Non-Persistent Sessions](https://auth0.com/docs/manage-users/sessions/non-persistent-sessions)**
>
> Describes non-persistent sessions available with Auth0.

I am still wondering what the best way to handle a logout from a host site would be. We can try the federated logout, but are there any other ideas?

Thank you for the explanation. It is clear for me. [LTDCommodities](https://www.ltdcommodities.me/)
