I am using the Netscape client SDK to query LDAP servers, some of which
are running Active Directory. When querying Active Directory, I would
like to use the "paged control" to page through the search result.
Unfortunately, the Netscape SDK does not seem to have a single API call
to create this LDAP server control. Does anyone have any sample code
for creating the LDAPControl structure that could be sent into the
ldap_search_ext call? In particular, I don't know how to create the ber
that goes into the searchControlValue field.
Thanks!

Microsoft describes the control as follows:
*********************************************************************************************
The LDAP_PAGED_RESULT_OID_STRING control is used internally with the
LDAP paged search API functions to instruct the server to return the
results of a search request in smaller, more manageable "chunks" rather
than in one huge block.
The pagedResultsControl structure is as follows:
Sequence {
controlType LDAP_PAGED_RESULT_OID_STRING, which is
defined as "1.2.840.113556.1.4.319"
criticality BOOLEAN (default = FALSE)
controlValue searchControlValue
}
The searchControlValue is a BER-encoded sequence as follows:
Sequence {
size INTEGER specifying the requested page size from
the client, or the estimated result set size
returned by the server.
cookie OCTET STRING
}
Client programs should use the LDAP API functions, such as
ldap_create_page_control, ldap_search_init_page, ldap_parse_result,
ldap_parse_page_control, etc., instead of attempting to create and
manipulate this control directly.
