Hi SSSD experts

I have tried examining various documentation and man pages but I am unable to determine the answer. Specifically, for security reasons, we require user on our Linux servers to login via AD credentials only (unless they are a specific local user). In particular, if the provider is offline/not available (in this case an AD server/servers) then login should fail.

I thought it would be possible by setting various "cache" parameters but the documentation suggests that zero (0) is not a useful value.

So, can this be done? And if so, how? And if I missed some simple thing in the documentation a reply pointing me to said documentation would be acceptable :-).

Thanks. Phil
