LDAP search doesn't return all hits

[Stephan Koser]

Hi,

I have to query many entries from a LDAP-Server. It seems the server is
configured to return only a particular number of hits.
How can I get all hits?
Is there a way - comparable to database queries - to get the first 100 hits
and than the next...
Is there a code sample for that?

thanx

Depending on the LDAP server configuration, the maximum number of value
return is set to 1500 (Active Directory, iPlanet).
It is possible to add in the search query "range:<start>-<end>" (for ex:
"range:200-500") to get the selected range. Note however that the data
is not ordered, and the server determine what is in the selected range.

It seems, this attribute has to be supported by the ldap-server.
