The correct command to flush a single user from authentication memory on a Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) is the authcache command.

The authcache command is used to display, clear, or refresh the authentication cache. The authentication cache stores user authentication information that has been collected during the authentication process. This information is used to identify users and to control access to web content.

To flush a single user from authentication memory, you can use the following command:

lua
authcache flush username <username>

This command will remove the user's authentication information from the cache, effectively logging them out of any web sessions they may have open.

It's important to note that flushing the authentication cache will clear all stored authentication information, not just for a single user. If you only want to clear the cache for a specific user, use the authcache flush username <username> command.

The other options listed in the question are not correct. isedata and diagnostic are not valid commands on a Cisco WSA, and clear is a generic command that could refer to many different things and is not specific to flushing a single user from authentication memory.
