RE: ldapsearch limit of 500 entries

Hi Jason, Yes, that worked for me.

You should use EXTERNAL sasl auth when trying to modify base config, with a command such as this: ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f changefile.ldif Then your ldif file, with the value you chose, would be: dn: cn=config changetype: modify replace: olcSizeLimit olcSizeLimit: -1 That should work, it's what I use for making any changes to cn=config.

I tried changing it through ldapmodify, however wasn't able to get it to work. So changed it in the file and it did work. We are transitioning away from cn=config, so this is just a short term solution. -----Original Message----- From: Howard Chu [mailto:hyc@symas.com<mailto:hyc@symas.com>] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 7:15 PM To: Clint Petty; Jason Brandt Cc: openldap-technical@openldap.org<mailto:openldap-technical@openldap.org> Subject: Re: ldapsearch limit of 500 entries Clint Petty wrote: You are not supposed to manually edit the config database files. You should have fed your change in to the running slapd using ldapmodify. cn=config is a slapd database. It will very likely migrate to an LMDB backend in the future. Don't get the notion of manually editing it into your head, because it won't be possible. There is no need to restart slapd to make configuration changes, if you do them correctly - i.e., using ldapmodify. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/ -- Jason K.
