It is triggered as you move the user from staging. The operation is
asynchronous so might take place shortly after the move. There is no
specific way to control it, sorry
What I see is that no LDAP attributes were added after having moved the
user from staging. Even after minutes. When I use this particular user
for SSH login krbExtraData, krbLastPwdChange, krbPasswordExpiration and
krbPrincipalKey are added almost immediately.
