Decreasing update time for cached Active Directory users and groups

[dgtldan]

Hello,

I am trying to increase the frequency of the time it takes for Active Directory users and groups to be updated in Panther Server.

The default time looks to be 12 hours and i found a line in one of the preferences .plist to set the time to one hour, yet i like this to be a lower value, perhaps 15 minute or 5 minutes.

Is there a way to lower this number bellow 1 hour? when i tried it the binding broke and i had to rejoin the server to AD.

Alterenatively, is there a command line or a manual way top invoke a re-read / re-cache of the AD users and groups?

TIA

I also am having problems with this. We use AD groups to restrict
access to specific files for legal reasons. After the user has been added to the group the updates are reflected on windows servers quickly.

If I was cool I could use dscl to list out the users in the cached AD group, but I couldn’t figure out the syntax.
