Apologies - it's not strictly Net::LDAP related....
I don't know if it's related, but I have a novell (5.1) LDAP server that no
matter what I do I can't get it to return more than 500 entries (tried 4
different clients including Net::LDAP).
It has a default setting of returning a max of 500, but seems to completely
ignore it when I change that to anything else..I've tried
501,1000,5000,10000 with no difference.
You see, I have about 10000 user objects (sorry inetorg objects) across ~20
ou's, and frequently more than 500 objects in an ou.
(rebooting and/or reloading the NLM's doesn't help)
I have worked around the problem in Net::LDAP with code like:
foreach $ou (@oulist){
foreach $letter (@alphabet) {
(search for all names beginning with $letter)
}
}
...which works because I always have less than 500 smiths in an ou!
Any Novell-ites seen similar?... and got a solution? then e-mail me off-list.
