-------------------------------------
Any chance of getting this issue bumped into a close release? I'm kinda in
love with DirStudio - she's beautiful - but this is putting pressure on the
relationship ;-)
The alternate workaround of bumping the server side limit is considered very
bad practice: This setting will apply to across all controllers in the Active
Directory domain so leaves a lot of targets open to a DoS attack in a corporate
situation. Everything I've seen warns against it, eg:
[http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid68_gci1265206,00.html]
and some management tools automatically flag a server side limit above 1000 an
a problem.
I guess there are a lot of other AD ldap users who could use the tool if it has
paged search support. There's a few here.
I'm not sure about the ApacheDS design philosophy, but paged searched might be
a good idea for ApacheDS too.
The code changes looks well-contained and pretty easy to implement. It would
make the LDAP implementation more complete. There's some sample code here, if
it helps:
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jndi/newstuff/paged-results.html].
I wouldn't want to mess with the code myself but *I'm happy to do some AD
testing here.*

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-327
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0
> Environment: Win2k workstation, java 1.6.0_05
> Reporter: Jim Birch
>
> Windows servers have a default server side limit of 1000 returned objects.
> AFAIK the normal way of handling this is to detect that a search returns an
> incomplete result set and make further requests to span the full result set.
> There appears to be no such capability in dirstudio which makes searching 15K
> users extremely messy.
