In order to renew a ticket, the principal name must exist and be not
disabled.

However 6 months renewal time are generally not a good idea, and
normally unneeded. If you configure sssd on your system every time a
user login/unlock the screen we obtain a fresh new ticket.

I would suggest you stay conservative and give tickets that last 24h and
renewal times of a week. For normal scenarios this is more than
sufficient.

Simo.
