+Subject: [PATCH] ad: refresh root domain when read directly
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+If the domain object of the forest root domain cannot be found in the
+LDAP tree of the local AD domain SSSD tries to read the request data
+from an LDAP server of the forest root domain directly. After reading
+this data the information is stored in the cache but currently the
+information about the domain store in memory is not updated with the
+additional data. As a result e.g. the domain SID is missing in this data
+and only becomes available after a restart where it is read from the
+cache.
+
+With this patch an unconditional refresh is triggered at the end of the
+fallback code path.
