The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Ward, Michael" <address@concealed>]

Good work. I actually raised this issue about three years ago and provided the code for the fix then – hopefully you have more success getting it included!

 

Looking at my old emails, looks like it wasn’t included as it was seen as Sympa would be ‘working around’ the result limit imposed by the LDAP server, as opposed to Sympa not supporting a commonly used LDAP server method of returning large result sets (ie paging).

Regards,
Michael Ward

Subject: [sympa-users] LDAP paging support

 

Hi,

 

Sympa 6.1.3 doesn’t support LDAP paging, so only the first page of query results is added to a list (AD in its default configuration returns 1000 results per page). We fixed this problem (foe level 1 queries) and created a patch that was uploaded as an attachment to bug #7369. The Sympa website is a bit hazy on how to contribute, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to post this information here as well, to make sure the patch has a chance of being included in future releases.

 

Best regards,

Holger

 

PS: the patch was developed by my colleague Leon Hedding, who isn’t subscribed to this list
