[Freeipa-users] AD Integration change propagation timing

I have a question regarding AD Integration with FreeIPA (CentOS 
7.1/freeipa 4.2.0) and Windows Server 2008 R2 with a Functional Level 
forest of 2008 R2.  Given a simple scenario of a group in active 
directory that is mapped to a POSIX group in FreeIPA, if a change is 
made on the AD side such as adding a user to an AD group, how long 
should it take on the FreeIPA side before the change would show up?  
What would the maximum time it could take before the change propagates 
to a server joined to FreeIPA?  What if a user was logged into the 
server and was waiting on the change (assuming the MS PAC was cached by 
sssd)?  This would be for a simple forest trust with FreeIPA and a 
medium/small AD environment.  Also, assuming that sssd was not restarted 
and/or the cache flushed.
I'm not looking for exact timing, just some estimates.

Thanks,
Mike
