## Symptoms

- * When switching an AD user to a different AD group, they may still retain access to resources from their previous group, effectively being in both groups simultaneously. But this does not show in the PDP monitor.
* The AD user is still seen in the old AD group.
* The Access role is not updated.
* Error from `vpnd` debugs:  
  `[vpnd 22266 4074710976]@l909eoaa0102a[28 Feb 15:52:21][CPLDAPSDK] ldap_async_do_search: Error: ldap_search_ext
  [vpnd 22266 4074710976]@l909eoaa0102a[28 Feb 15:52:21][CPLDAPSDK] OPSEC_ldap_search: do search failure`
