Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: For large cache files, if a user was removed from a group in LDAP, memory allocation could grow exponentially while processing the removal from the cache, potentially resulting in an OOM (Out of Memory) situation. With this update, this issue has been fixed, and SSSD no longer allocates unnecessarily large amounts of memory when removing a user from a group in LDAP.
