CAS SSO with LDAP does not update existing users in Liferay when LDAP data changes

When CAS and LDAP are enabled and you log in for the first time, LDAP data for the user will be brought over into Liferay. However, if LDAP data changes for the user, and you log in again through CAS, Liferay will not get the updated information that exists in LDAP for that user. The system will now check to see if the user exists in LDAP everytime you log in to CAS, and if it does, it will either add or update that user in Liferay.
