Public bug reported:
Problem:
Some people may need to have a GUI to manage the file system's access
control list. Unfortunately it seems that the existing projects do not take
into consideration a very large user-base. When you attempt to locate or search
for a particular user, most projects will only provide a simple list of users
with no filtering tools, this can quickly become unsustainable if the user-base
is higher then 100 users.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a ldap with more then 100 users
2. Configure a system to authenticate using ldap
3. Setup ACL on one of the filesystems
4 Lunch Eiciel and try to find a particular user in the list
Actual Results:
Not only is it very hard to find a user if you have a user base of lets say
120 000 users, but it also seems that Eiciel only list the first 100 users
Expected Results:
Eiciel should scale better with large user bases and provide convenient
ways to filter and / or search for users. If this is a limitation in the
backend, such as OpenLDAP, then the problem may need to be fixed there. If it
cannot be fixed in the backend, then Eiciel could possibly be modified to
perform multiple queries in a background thread to fetch the complete pool.
Known Workaround:
The only knows work around is to use the command line. This is cumbersome
for some users.
