Hi,

we synchronize OpenLDAP with an Active Directory which is run by another unit, 
i.e. we have no influence on the configuration of the AD. We synchronize groups 
and their members  instead of users, according to your 
http://lsc-project.org/wiki/documentation/tutorial/synchronizegroups?s[]=ad<http://lsc-project.org/wiki/documentation/tutorial/synchronizegroups?s%5b%5d=ad>
 .

This works very well, as long as the groups are small. Unfortunately we have 
groups with up to 35.000 members. When I try to synchronize them I get the 
following error:
Jul 10 13:56:56 - ERROR - Error while modifying entry XXXX in directory 
:javax.naming.NamingException: LDAP response read timed out, timeout 
used:-1ms.; remaining name 'XXXX'
Jul 10 13:56:56 - ERROR - Error while synchronizing ID XXXX: 
java.lang.Exception: Technical problem while applying modifications to the 
destination

In your documentation you recommend to add
<pageSize>1000</pageSize>
to the AD connection in the lsc.xml file. I have tried this, but it didn't help.

With the -t and -i parameters when launching the full Sync I have managed to 
synchronize the entire group
lsc -f /lsc/conf -s all -t50 -i100000
but although all  members are seemingly synchronized there is still the same 
error in the log file, and the entry ends with
Jul 10 13:56:56 - ERROR - All entries: 1, to modify entries: 1, successfully 
modified entries: 0, errors: 1

If I then run the LSC daemon with the same -t and -i -parameters the initial 
run again seems to synchronize all members, but the log file again shows the 
same error. And even worse: the automatical synchronizing doesn't work any more 
afterwards: If I afterwards add a member to the OpenLDAP group it is not 
synchronized with the AD group.

Is there any possibility to manipulate the time out value?

Also I have seen that if a group is synchronized all members are replaced. Can 
that be reduced on one specific member, i.e. with deleting/adding a this single 
member instead of replacing all members?

Thank you in advance,

Jutta
