I forgot to add that this is only true for SIDs/UIDs/GIDs which haven't been mapped before. All mappings other than ephemeral mappings do expire within 5 minutes. Perhaps we should probably have an option to fallback on expired non-ephemeral mappings when AD is unreachable. And perhaps the expiration time should configurable.
