Hi all, I am trying to understand the caching behavior of SSSD+FreeIPA better. How long of a cache delay is reasonable?
I have deleted a number of old user groups from our FreeIPA installation, and verified that the groups are gone on all 4 replicated servers via the ipa command, and through the web interface. However on all of our clients, even 30 minutes later, the groups still show when I do for example "getent group testgroup3". I understand that sssd caching is at play here. However the super confusing thing is I have the following set on a client that we really need to not have old cache on, and it seems to ignore it: entry_cache_timeout = 5 memcache_timeout = 5 enum_cache_timeout = 5 This client also seems to ignore sss_cache -E and -G. Restarting sssd also does not make the old groups go away. The only thing that finally resulted in the deleted groups no longer being returned is deleting the contents of /var/lib/sss/db. Why? How can I get faster responses to group updates from this client? I realize this isn't the sssd mailing list. Posting here as that mailing list seems dead, and hoping someone here has crossed this path before and has some info to share!
