I did some searching to try and answer the following question and the answer is not
apparent to me.
I have a directory with hundreds of thousands of entries. I have an app which, due to its
behavior, needs to
be able to search for very large sets of users but I don’t want it to be able to get ALL
users and therefore exhaust
all memory on the ldap server.
If the app performs a search on uid=* and the it’s a paged search, does this have a
positive impact on how
memory is used to handle the results so it doesn’t exhaust all memory?
I’m trying to keep the scenario simple so I hope you appreciate the question I am getting
at.
thanks!
