Re: ldapsearch

[Mark W. <mew...@un...>]

The server likely won't return any more than 1000 entries (though this is
a server configuration) unless you're binded to the server as the
directory super-user or using a server control like Paged Control, or the
more popular Virtual List View.

You can also limit the results by setting a more direct base
(e.g. ou=people,o=unt.edu instead of just o=unt.edu), scope and/or a
filter that's more specific.

BTW Graham, most of the other LDAP APIs have a parameter in search to
limit the number of results.
