CentOS - Feb 2018 - Adding new automount entries to a map served via sssd from AD

I've been experimenting with setting up a CentOS 7 client using 
automount maps from Active Directory via sssd

I've followed the instructions given at:

  https://ovalousek.wordpress.com/2015/08/03/autofs/

and all works fine

However, I can't seem to make the client 'see' new map entries added
to
the map on the AD server - I've tries reducing various timeout settings 
in /etc/sssd/sssd.conf to see if that helps - e.g.

  entry_cache_timeout = 60
  entry_cache_autofs_timeout = 15

but map entries don't appear at all - unless I run 'sss_cache -A' to
invalidate the sssd autofs map caches

Does anyone know how to make new map entries appear automagically ?

Thanks

... having been trying to get this to work all day - entries are now 
appearing soon after being added (and disappearing when removed) on the 
AD server

Just now need to work out what I changed to make it work - may be the 
act of sending an email to the list 'fixed' the issue :-)

Sorry for the noise
