# SCA Configuration - SecContacts.AADCache

### SecContacts.AADCache

This setting enables an optional AAD Cache as a data source for AAD contacts, significantly improving performance and user experience in large AAD environments.

* Name: `SecContacts.AADCache`
* Value: `[{"name":"AADCache", "value":"<AAD Cache access key>"}]`

Replace `<AAD Cache access key>` with the key generated by AAD Cache.

* e.g. `XcTAQTzgO00KQE+Dkr{...}FnxMDuzJ6xI=`

### AAD Cache Overview

The AAD Cache feature leverages an Azure Function together with Azure Blob Storage to significantly improve sync performance in large AAD environments.

Instead of having SCA pull all AAD contacts sequentially via Graph API - which can be time-consuming -the AAD Cache performs this operation periodically and provides a single encrypted and compressed file through Azure Blob Storage. This approach reduces sync time dramatically and enhances the overall user experience.
