Mod 1 // LDAP context refreshing
Versions support: - [x] 4.22 - [ ] 4.23 - [ ] 4.24
This modification currently enables:
-
Forcing LDAP user group membership updates and applying the updated user access context to an existing client session without requiring reconnection to the shared resource.
-
Controlling the update frequency by reusing the winbind cache time directive in the configuration file. The value set for winbind cache time specifies the duration in seconds during which group membership is cached. After this interval expires, the group membership context is refreshed (only when discrepancies are detected). If the LDAP source is temporarily unavailable, the previous context is preserved. When winbind cache time is set to 0, the update mechanism is disabled.
