I'll look into this -- we call it the 'laptop scenario' we did test it
at various points in the development cycle, but perhaps something broke
it.

But the CacheEntryExpire setting should not determine whether you can
log in when offline. It is to determine whether we try to update values
from AD. Many APIs request information about a user -- just doing an
'ls' will cause user lookups. If we did a network traversal each time
you would suffer horrendous performance. So we cache the values and
update them every so often. I think newer releases may have lowered the
expiry to a handful of minutes.

If you are offline, then expired cache entries are just supposed to be
used since there is nothing better.
