Active Directory Paging Not Working - Needs to be enabled server side?
Hello, I've been developing a mass password reset application written in Java SE 1.5 ( Desktop ), and it often needs to hit more than 1000 accounts. Early in development, I hit the 1000 returned record limit which is standard with Active Directory, and I got around it using information from this post - http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=578347&tstart=0 .
However, after I had fixed that issue, my test set of user accounts was down to 3, as I developed and tested other features of the application. When I was doing the final testing before going live with the application, Active Directory again refused to return more than 1000 records. Instead, it ignores the range I give it and continues to return the same 1000 records over and over ad infinitum.
Again, this happened without my changing a line of the code that queried active directory, so I think something may have been changed by our Windows Administration group. However, I would like to be sure of this before pointing the finger at them, blaming them for causing this issue.
More importantly, if someone here knows if it is possible to disable paging altogether in Active Directory, and what I should ask the Windows Admins to re-enable in order to fix it.
If that will not work, then I am looking at rewriting some or all of the app in CSharp, which will probably let me access Active Directory in a way that bypasses the 1000 result limit without needing to page.
Thank You,
John Gooch
