We typically setup local proxy servers to support applications that cannot support a GSSAPI bind to the directory server. The proxy server allows anonymous access to the directory for connections from the localhost and connects to the master using GSSAPI. We are experiencing a failures when we attempt to use the paged results control on the proxy. For example:
ldapsearch -E pr=1000/noprompt -x -b "cn=people,dc=stanford,dc=edu" -h localhost "(&(objectClass=suPerson)(suVisibIdentity=world))" ou telephonenumber title
ends with the error:
# search result search: 5 result: 0 Success control: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.319 false MA0CAQAECCiDAAAAAAAA pagedresults: cookie=KIMAAAAAAAA= # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <cn=people,dc=stanford,dc=edu> with scope subtree # filter: (&(objectClass=suPerson)(suVisibIdentity=world)) # requesting: ou telephonenumber title # with pagedResults control: size=1000 #
# search result search: 6 result: 2 Protocol error text: paged results cookie is invalid
# numResponses: 4005 # numEntries: 4000
This result is not consistent. We have seen examples where 2000 and 3000 entries being returned and then the error. Another test that we performed with a slightly more complex filter, i.e.
"(&(objectClass=suPerson)(|(suVisibIdentity=world)(suVisibIdentity=world)))"
returned usually returned 1000 entries before erroring.
Issuing a similar search directly against the backend ldap server completes without error.
We have seen the same behavior on OpenLDAP 2.4.23 as well.
