Maybe the answer is to create ou’s for the beginning characters and assign them accordingly then have the the system programmatically set the base when searching?  But it’s searching on an attribute an not a DN.  This is a short term solution that doesn’t much flexibility though.

Thanks Chris, But does that mean that I am to expect a 6. 6 second search time for 3. 2M entries. While that seems like a large number, I think LDAP should handle it faster than that. That isn’t usable. I am hoping I am missing a tuning parameter

Hey Brad,

I have found that the response time on a flat branch relates directly and proportionally to nentries in that branch. And I am sure that this is the case with other vendor LDAPs, too, FWIW (inc AD and Azure-DS).
