Dan,
SSSD will update the cache on any login that goes through PAM.

Do you need a way to refresh specific user information it logs in ?

If so, at the moment you can reset the cache by stopping SSSD and
deleting the appropriate file in /var/lib/sss/db and restarting SSSD.
The db file to be deleted has the domain name (as used in the sssd.conf
section tag) in the file name.

Simo.
