I try to do a search with an openldap server. This search can return a very large number of entries (> 30 000) ; the sizelimit parameter in slapd.conf is set to 2100. I use a code like the example in paged.pm (http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP/Control/Paged.pm). I set size parameter of Net::LDAP::Control::Paged to 1000. openldap return's 1000 entries with 2 first search call, but an error code 4 (Sizelimit exceeded) occurs in third search call : conn=6 op=1 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=univ-nancy2,dc=fr" scope=2 deref=2 filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" conn=6 op=1 SRCH attr=cn sn givenName mail conn=6 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1000 text= conn=6 op=2 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=univ-nancy2,dc=fr" scope=2 deref=2 filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" conn=6 op=2 SRCH attr=cn sn givenName mail conn=6 op=2 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 nentries=1000 text= conn=6 op=3 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=univ-nancy2,dc=fr" scope=2 deref=2 filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" conn=6 op=3 SRCH attr=cn sn givenName mail conn=6 op=3 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=4 nentries=100 text= Is it the normal behaviour ?
Generally, I'd expect questions about how openldap behaves to go to the openldap-software@openldap.org list.
If each page is 1000 entries, then yes, I'd expect you would get a sizelimit exceed once you hit the 3rd page. One of the functions of setting a sizelimit is to prevent clients from doing unreasonably large search requests. I've not played with the paged results control, so I don't know if it is supposed to override the sizelimit setting, but I doubt that'd be generally allowed.
You may want to follow up with the correct list. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Principal Software Developer ITS/Shared Application Services Stanford University GnuPG Public Key: http://www.stanford.edu/~quanah/pgp.html
