The longest URL I have had to use was 149 characters...so
no I haven't come across this limitation. I'm sure that a work around
however is to write your own plugin...I've been told it's not too hard...but I
have never tried

Subject: Very basic AD question...
MY PROBLEM
When you create a ARDBC based Vendor form to pull out data, is there a
limit to the lenght of the ldap url that you have to configure in
order for the vendor form to connect to the ldap table?
I am in the process of refining the search filter to minimize 'noize' and I
think I have hit the limit and I think the limit is 254 or 255 characters..
So if this is the limit is there a way to increase this limit? I'd love to get
the same result with a shorter url, but this is the best I can do given the type
of data in the ldap directory..
I'd love to hear from those who have ended up with long url's if they faced
this url lenght limitation and if you were able to overcome it..
A USEFUL TIP
By the way a TIP for those attempting to write a 'not equal to' search
filter on vendor forms.. Remedy doesn't seem to understand if you write it in
the format
(!sn=data*) -------- example
to search for sn strings that dont begin with data. LDAP editors
have no problems with the above... Remedy simply complains that it is a bad
search which is almost misleading as it seems to work on LDAP editors... Remedy
probably assumes the ! to be a part of the object name...
Remedy likes to have its parenthesis wherever possible so what works is on
Remedy LDAP vendor forms is
(!(sn=data*)) -------- example
Go figure....
