Some LDAP servers have settings that limit the number of entries that can be returned by an LDAP query. For example, iPlanet Directory Server 5.1 has a default limit of 2000 objects.
When migrating user data from LDAP into Novell® eDirectoryTM, the driver makes an LDAP query to the server and returns the objects that match the criteria (such as objectclass=User).
A limit on the number of entries that can be returned on an LDAP query can cause a migration to stop before it is complete, even though the DirXML® driver continues to run normally otherwise.
To fix this, change the limit.
For example, in iPlanet do the following:
Go to the Configuration tab, then select Database settings.
Raise the look-through limit on the LDBM plug-in tab from default of 5000 to an appropriate number. (This is the number of records the query is allowed to look at while fulfilling the query.)
Go to the Configuration tab, select directory server settings, select the performance tab and raise the Size limit according to the number of user accounts you need to migrate. (This is the actual number of records the query is allowed to return.)
After these settings have been adjusted, the migration should complete correctly.
