Hello Doc team,

I'm starting to work on the implementation of the dirsync control for samba4.

I've got some questions about the maxsize parameter in the dirsync control

Paragraph 5.112.1.5 DirSyncControlValue of DRSR.pdf says

size: In the request control value, this field indicates the maximum number of bytes expected in the
reply. In the reply control value, it is set to 0.

But quite a lot pages on msdn like http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa366978, says maxAttributeCount: Specifies the maximum number of attributes to return. This value may also be used to limit the amount of data returned.

What is the good definition ?

Also it seems that lower value limit so that if you specify a size (or maxAttributeCount) smaller than that value it's ignored, I discovered this by doing like this: ./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:200" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 ./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:2000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 ./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:20000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 ./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:200000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 ./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:2000000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123

 As in every case the same amount of data is returned.

When trying with another bigger partition: schema

./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:200000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 -b "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=w2k8r2,DC=home,DC=matws,DC=net" yield 464 results

./bin/ldbsearch --controls="dirsync:1:0:2000000" -H ldap://172.16.100.25 -U administrator%totoTATA123 -b "CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=w2k8r2,DC=home,DC=matws,DC=net" yield 879 results

The key value seems to be around 1000000 (1050000 more exactly), can you confirm if there is a lower value, and if any upper value ? And if so is it implementation dependent.

Also it seems that even if I specify a size of 2MiB (2 * 10^6 Bytes) the result size in way bellow this limit, how the size is calculated then ?

Regards.

Matthieu
