[SSSD-users] Re: Group caching issue

[Spike White]

Vivianne,

Is this with a simple AD forest (single domain)?

We see lost memberships for accounts sporadically too, but only for
cross-domain accounts.  (another domain, same forest).  And it does not
occur nearly as frequently as you -- might be a single account once every 5
hrs.  Like you, invalidating it clears the error for the account
temporarily.

Are you using tokengroups to ascertain your AD group memberships?
 Initially we weren't but we found tokengroups are dependable and great
performance win (over recursive LDAP searches).
