I have admit that I never looked closer at the 'size' in the response control: From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2696 realSearchControlValue ::= SEQUENCE { size INTEGER (0..maxInt), -- requested page size from client -- result set size estimate from server cookie OCTET STRING } [..] In the control returned to the client, the size MAY be set to the server's estimate of the total number of entries in the entire result set. Servers that cannot provide such an estimate MAY set this size to zero (0). The big question for me is whether there are LDAP server implementations already returning the "estimate of the total number of entries in the entire result set". Since RFC 2696 was written by Microsoft employees I will check MS AD first... Ciao, Michael.
