Hi all,

I've been able to set up an LDAP connection such that Apache CloudStack
(4.19.1.2) can query our LDAP environment.
However, it's a large organisation and if I set my basedn variable to the
root of the LDAP tree, it'll seriously take forever to try to add a single
account. It looks as though it's loading the entire LDAP tree into your
browser and then runs the query locally and you can easily wait for 5-10
minutes with nothing happening if your browser doesn't crash in the
meantime.
I can limit this by lowering my basedn and going down a couple of
organizations down the line but if I do that, I might be able to add users
from one particular organization but not another... unless I create
different domains, one for each organization which to me feels kind of
clunky.
What would be the appropriate method here to be able to add accounts from
an LDAP tree that contains hundreds of thousands of users and still be able
to add an LDAP account within an appropriate amount of time?

Another question which I haven't been able to properly figure out is
whether it's possible to add an AD group as an account and assign it a
particular role. Basically, have a group of administrators in AD and assign
that particular group the root admin role. What would be the steps to do
that? (provided that's possible)

Kind regards,

Jeroen Kleijer
