this document describes how the client can specify (in LDAPControl Extension)
a paged result request from server using a cookie as parameter that is
refered in future (continuing) requests to server.

But I dont need this, I want to find a way for the SERVER to limit the amount
resulting entries by a partitial size and timelimit. But the server need to
tell the client that "ok, here are some result, present them now and wait for
more results later on from me...".

Any suggestions or recommendations?
It would be great if the solution is implementable on both LDAPv2 and v3
clients.

I am sorry for asking how to use LDAP URL with bindname and bindpw on this
mailing list, I'll try netscape (again).
