Hi,
I want to disable the virtual list view support. I would think that you would just delete the appropriate OID (supportedControl attribute) from the rootDSE object. However, the directory does not allow me to do that, due to access control restrictions. I try to perform this modification with the "super-administrator" account (cn=Directory Manager).
Can anybody point me to a way how the vlv feature can be disabled?
Thanks -Reinhard

Beware that this is completely untested, but you can test it yourself if this is important to you :-)
Just remove the cn=views,cn=plugins,cn=config object and then restart the slapd daemon.

Views and VLV (Virtual List Views) are different. Views allows you to impose a hierarchical DIT upon a flat tree (virtually). VLV is paged search results.

Right.
So, do you Rich have any tips how to disable VLV?
Although I still don't see the reason why somebody would want to do this. Are there misbehaving clients on your network, or what?

Could be. Outlook uses VLV for address book searches. I don't think there is a way to disable VLV.

Outlook uses VLV's, but if the VLV indexes it uses are not actually created, you get really bad performance and some "wierd" errors in outlook. Assuming outlook only uses this if the server says it supports VLV controls, disabling this in theory would make outlook "work better" than with vlv's supported by the server, but no vlv index created.
The other app that uses VLV's that I know of is the Directory server java console. If you disable VLV's it can affect performance there as well.
What is the reason you want to disable VLV's? If it is because of Outlook, it would actually be better overall to create the VLV indexes that outlook uses - they are fairly easy to create, and outlook's use of vlv indexes is pretty consistent.
FWIW, Outlook uses VLV indexes for it's ldap addressbook functionality, but one other bit of tuning you need to do for Outlook is index the displayname attribute (even if you have no entries in the server with a displayname value, you need to index the attribute to prevent a sequential search of entries to realize this).
