Sun Java System Directory Server concerns

Edit online

The following task describes how to modify the default value for the look-through limit on the directory server.

About this task

The following concerns are specific to Sun Java™ System Directory Server:

If the user registry contains more entries than the defined look-through limit, the directory server might return the following status that Verify Identity Access treats as an error: 
LDAP_ADMINLIMIT_EXCEEDED
When the directory server is installed, the default value is 5000. To modify this value, perform the following steps from the Sun Java System Directory Server Console:

Procedure

  1. Select the Configuration tab.
  2. Expand the Data entry.
  3. Select Database Settings.
  4. Select the LDBM Plug-in Settings tab.
  5. In the Look-through Limit field, type the maximum number of entries that you want the server to check in response to the search, or type -1 to define no maximum limit.

    If you bind the directory as the Directory Manager, the look-through limit is unlimited and overrides any settings specified in this field.
