Hi,
the attached patch addresses #2252. I tried to make it clear that
removing the cache should only be done while online, but I'm open to any
further suggestions.

Subject: [PATCH] MAN: Clarify that changing ID mapping options might require
purging the cache
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/2252
Currently SSSD chokes when IDs of users change, we don't support ID
changes yet. Because some users were confused about the failures, this
patch adds additional clarification.

+ Please note that changing the ID mapping related configuration
+ options might cause the user and group IDs to change. At the moment,
+ SSSD does not support changing IDs, so the SSSD database must be
+ removed. Because cached passwords are also stored in the database,
+ removing the database should only be performed while the SSSD
