I have added some users to a AD security group and I am adding that AD group to my SharePoint 2013 site. After a while i checked the username in SharePoint but the user still not exist in SharePoint 2013 for some users.

I do understand that current default WindowsTokenLifeTime is set to default to 10 hours, but some of users are not still not in SharePoint after 24 hours.

What i did next is modify WindowsTokenLifeTime to 2 hours but unfortunately it did not solve the issue.

I run the following command

$sts= Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig
$sts.WindowsTokenLifetime = (New-TimeSpan -minutes 120)
$sts.Update()

iisreset

Please advise. Thank you

Which version of SharePoint you are using?

Are you pointing towards User profile services ?

this service is not present in SharePoint foundation.

if you are not using foundation then try "iisreset /noforce" and "gpupdate /force" though.

  • Try using Cache expiration: $sts = Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig $sts.WindowsTokenLifetime = (New-Timespan –Minutes 5) <- default 1 hour $sts.LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow = (New-Timespan –Minutes 2) <- default 10 mins $sts.Update() – Vishwas Goswami Apr 30 '15 at 6:16
