Hi,

all the ipa * calls use a search size limit and search time limit to avoid
returning too many entries. In order to see those settings, you can do:
# kinit admin
# ipa config-show
...
Search time limit: 2
Search size limit: 100
...
as explained here:
https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/9/html/accessing_identity_management_services/searching-ipa-entries_accessing-idm-services#adjusting-the-search-size-and-time-limit_search-ipa

If the ipa command doesn't work you can also use ldapsearch directly
(replace dc=ipa,dc=test with your own suffix):
# ldapsearch -LLL -Y GSSAPI -b cn=ipaConfig,cn=etc,dc=ipa,dc=test -s base
ipasearchtimelimit ipasearchrecordslimit
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
SASL username: ad...@ipa.test
SASL SSF: 256
SASL data security layer installed.
dn: cn=ipaConfig,cn=etc,dc=ipa,dc=test
ipasearchtimelimit: 2
ipasearchrecordslimit: 100

The default value is 100 for the number of returned entries.
