hello,
"Administrative limit " may be a SIZE limit , ENTRIES ( number of ) limit or SIZE ( output of ) limit:
From "man" of ldapsearch:
-l timelim time limit (in seconds) for search (default is no limit)
-z sizelim size limit (in entries) for search (default is no limit)
You can use these options when you search.
You may also check the setting of 3 limits above with Admin Console:
Open your directory server (name), Configuration Folder, Performance. On right panel check Client Control folder. You may see:
Size limit
Look-through limit
Time limit
Idle timeout
� The look-through limit specifies the maximum number of entries that will be examined for a search operation.
� The size limit specifies the maximum number of entries the server returns to the client application in response to a search operation.
� The time limit specifies the maximum time the server spends processing a search operation.
� The idle timeout specifies the time a client connection to the server can be idle before the server drops the connection.
If you bind as Directory manager, you may use unlimited resources by default.
