Sun Java System Directory Server concerns

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

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 Security Verify 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:

Steps

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 we 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.
