This is a personal user data cache that only contains basic LDAP information for the user. It is used to load the local and Active Directory groups a user is associated with when the user no longer has access to its domain server. This can happen when a laptop that is normally connected to the Active Directory domain gets shutdown then restarted without access to the domain, for example, on an airplane - in this mode the user can successfully still login to the laptop to their using domain account cached by Windows but the groups the user is in will no longer be accessible. If role based security happens to be based on Active Directory groups, this cache will make sure the user can still have needed role based access even when the domain is unavailable. This cache is maintained as a separate user cache from the system level AdoSecurityCache since the user data cache only contains group information and is used by the LdapSecurityProvider which can be used independently of the AdoSecurityProvider.
