Hi all,

Normal users on the directory are subject to an administrative limit as to the size of the result sets returned, which in our case has defaulted to 50.

I have to periodically query the directory and have all results returned, in order to perform an operation on all users periodically.

As I understand it, I can achieve this using the PagedResultsControl (in Java), which returns results in small chunks rather than one big blob.

When I try to use this control, I get the error:

LDAP: error code 12 - Unavailable Critical Extension

I understand from this error message that the paged control is not supported by FDS?

Before trying to get PagedResultsControl to work, I need to clarify at the outset: Am I approaching this the right way?

Is there an alternative method I should be using to return large result sets, without being forced to receive all results in one big blob, triggering administrative limits?
You could also create a special administrative user account that's used only for this purpose, and increase the size, time, and lookthrough limits on this account only. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/User_Account_Management-Setting_Resource_Limits_Based_on_the_Bind_DN.html

If you need paging, you could use Virtual List View (VLV aka "Browsing Index") - see http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/8.0/Managing_Indexes.html - look for Browsing Index

Graham
