<1> Section 3.2.3.1: After the data described in section 3.1.1.1 is obtained for the first time via a GetFsTrustInformation exchange, Windows maintains a cached copy of the data described in section 3.1.1.1.

<2> Section 3.2.4.1: Windows emits a GetFsTrustInformation request when the client service is started, and caches the data from the response. If for some reason there is not a cached version of the data described in section 3.1.1.1 available when a security token is received, Windows will attempt to obtain the data again by emitting a GetFsTrustInformation request upon receipt of the security token.
