Need to restart openfire to make ldap group changes?

Running openfire v3.6.3 w/ ldap mappings for users and groups.

When I add new groups or edit group members in ldap the changes are not updated on openfire admin console. The application needs a restart to see changes in ldap, which kicks all the users out temporarily.

any fix for this problem or plans to add a ‘refresh’ option to users/groups section in the admin console?

It does refresh on its own, but it takes a while. Clients on the otherhand will not see the changes until the logout and back in again.
