I think autofs reads all maps upon a start and then, based on the timeout variable,
updates entries in the indirect maps.
Master map is read only once, upon autofs start - so I guess you might be in trouble if
you are only using direct maps.

In general, sssd only caches what automounter asks for. IIRC automounter
would ask at least for the master map and the nested maps after startups, but
I don't know how that works with keys, especially with
(presumably?) wildcard keys you might be using for home dirs..
I'm not sure how else to trigger automounter into explicitly querying the keys
other than forcing access to the directories, sorry.
