Configures the location of the Distributed Cache server. You must specify space-separated host:port pairs for Memcached, a comma-separated host:port list for Redis on .NET or .NET Framework, or a complete Redis URI for Redis on Java (i.e. redis://clientid:password@localhost:6379?ssl=true&db=1).

In a distributed caching environment, the Cache Location property allows configuring the server and port where the Cache system is operating.
Therefore, after configuring the Cache Provider property to 'Redis' or 'Memcached', the Cache Location property will be available to enter any valid location depending on the distributed caching system specified in the Cache Provider property.
If more than one location has to be specified, the locations should be separated by empty spaces.
Redis has sixteen databases, numbered from 0 to 15. If you don't specify one, database 0 is used by default.
To choose a different one, add db=N at the end of the URI (Java) or defaultDatabase=N in the connection string (.NET/.NET Framework). For example, db=1 or defaultDatabase=1 makes your installation write to database 1.
This approach separates each installation that shares the same Redis server—for example, Client A on database 0, Client B on database 1, Client C on database 2. As a result, you can clear one client's cache without affecting the others and avoid key collisions without using prefixes.
Note that there are only sixteen databases, there is no per-database access control, and Redis Cluster only supports database 0.
This property applies only at design time.
The following are valid Cache Location values:
- Memcached
Cache Location = server1:11211 server2:11211
- Redis
Cache Location = defaultDatabase=1,localhost:6379
(add more nodes with commas, e.g. host1:6379, host2:6379)
- Memcached
Cache Location = server1:11211 server2:11211
- Redis
Cache Location = redis://clientid:password@localhost:6379?ssl=true&db=1
Uses port 6379, encrypts the connection (ssl=true), and stores the cache in logical database 1.
Cache Location = redis://clientid:password@localhost:6379/4
Points to port 6379 and writes to database 4.
Cache Location = rediss://localhost:6379
The rediss:// scheme enables SSL without ssl=true. It does not specify the database, so it connects to database 0.
Memcached uses port 11211 by default, and Redis uses 6379. Change them only if your servers use different ones.
