[Issue]: How can I disable caching?

[tyler-suard-parker]

Describe the issue

In client.py, there is a function where a database is created for caching. I am running my AutoGen code on a machine without any file/folder creation privileges, so I am getting an error when AutoGen tries to create a database for caching. How can I turn caching off?

Thank you.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use Azure Web Apps
2. Deploy some AutoGen code to the web app
3. Run it

I found the answer, add "cache_seed": None, to the LLM config.

Ok I just looked at my llm_config and it already had the cache seed set to none. How do I turn off caching?

Not able to disable cache (seed 42), any suggestions on how to disable it. By default setting to 42. manager.initiate_chat(cache=None) - not able to disable cache, is this expected behavior? https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/0.2/docs/reference/agentchat/conversable_agent#initiate_chat
