I know you are suppose to make changes through the command line, when using cn=config. I tried changing it through ldapmodify, however wasn't able to get it to work. So changed it in the file and it did work. We are transitioning away from cn=config, so this is just a short term solution.

You are not supposed to manually edit the config database files. You should have fed your change in to the running slapd using ldapmodify. cn=config is a slapd database. It will very likely migrate to an LMDB backend in the future. Don't get the notion of manually editing it into your head, because it won't be possible. > and then restarting slapd. There is no need to restart slapd to make configuration changes, if you do them correctly - i.e., using ldapmodify. > Now works! > > *From:*Jason Brandt [mailto:[email protected]] > *Sent:* Thursday, December 12, 2013 11:25 AM > *To:* Clint Petty > *Cc:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: ldapsearch limit of 500 entries > > Note that this will replace any existing limits you have set. > > On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 1:24 PM, Jason Brandt <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Global size limit modification ldif file (using cn=config): > > dn: cn=config > > changetype: modify > > replace: olcSizeLimit > > olcSizeLimit: size.soft=100 size.hard=500 > > Per user size limit changes: > > dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config > > changetype: modify > > replace: olcLimits > > olcLimits: dn.exact="uid=user,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com" size=unlimited > > On Thu, Dec 12, 2013 at 1:16 PM, Clint Petty <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > My ldapsearch command is only returning a max of 500 entries, while I know I > have over 9,000 entries in the database.
