Credential caching is not support - for any of the backends (radius or sql). As far as I know, there are no plans for caching yet... Mainly because the fetching the passwd from DB is combined in a single query with caller profile fetching - see the "load_credentials" module param in auth_db module.
yes, when i radius authenticate a user, the reply contains lots of user attributes as reply items. these attributes can change any time and thus cannot be cached.
In fact I think that the only caching making sense would be directly in the final backend (DB, Radius, LDAP..).
FYI: I think the original question refers to IMS, where the S-CSCF can retrieve pre-calculated nonces and responses from the diameter server to avoid diameter requests for each authentication.
