KB-1610: How to ldapsearch for group members greater 1500?

Centrify DirectAudit ,   Centrify DirectControl ,   Centrify Identity Service, Mac Edition ,

Applies to:  All versions of Centrify DirectControl

 

Question:

 

Is there any way to query the membership of an AD group which has greater than 1500 members using /usr/share/centrifydc/bin/ldapsearch?

 

Answer:

 

By default, Active Directory limits the value that can be retrieved from a single query to 1500.  To extract beyond this limit, it is necessary to specify a value range in the form of "member;range=low-high" such as "member,range=100-499".  An query sample for more than 1500 members will look similar to below ldapsearch command:

/usr/share/centrifydc/bin/ldapsearch -LLL -H ldap://domain.local -m -b 'CN=adgroup,OU=test.ou,OU=test,DC=domain,DC=local' '(objectclass=*)' 'member;range=0-50'

Without specifying the value range, the result will only display up to 1499.
 

More information regarding the range retrieval value can be found at Microsoft MSDN library http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc223242(PROT.10).aspx.
