<para>
- If SSSD is in offline mode, and last attempt to go
- online was less than number of seconds specified
- in this option ago, new requests for data will not
- result in attempt to go online.
+ When SSSD switches to offline mode the amount of
+ time before it tries to go back online will
+ increase based upon the time spent disconnected.
+ This value is in seconds and calculated by the
+ following:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ offline_timeout + random_offset
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The random offset can increment up to 30 seconds.
+ After each unsuccessful attempt to go online,
+ the new interval is recalculated by the following:
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ new_interval = old_interval*2 + random_offset
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note that the maximum length of each interval
+ is currently limited to one hour. If the
+ calculated length of new_interval is greater
+ than an hour, it will be forced to one hour.
