Hi,

I'm new to the owncloud project - just installed it yesterday.
First of all, let me say, that I'm very enthusiastic about the project and the simplicity of the installation process. Great work!!!
I'm planning on offering owncloud as a service at our university.

But there's one problem with the user_ldap app. Sharing files with other ldap users doesn't work. It's the way the getUsers function is implemented. We have about 50,000 users in our ldap directory. And we use anonymous authentication. But the search result is limited to 100 entries, if the search is done anonymously.

So, if we do an anonymous search, it is unlikely that the requested user, that I want to share my files with, is among the returned users. On the other hand, if we connect with a binddn and all 50,000 users are returned, it takes a long time and it consumes a lot of memory (a php array with 50,000 entries).

Wouldn't it be better if a user could enter an arbitrary uid into the search field?

I haven't tried anonymously, but I have also experienced the resource-intensity of a large user number ldap search in owncloud. It actually hangs my browser, pushing my CPU to 100% usage.
