Size Limit Exceeded!

[Mauricio Mejia <MMejia@exchange.hsc.mb.ca>]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is any way to get around the "Size limit
exceeded(4)" error that I anytime I access more than 500 records.

$ ldapsearch -LLL -v -b "ou=employees,dc=hsc,dc=mb,dc=ca"
"employeenumber=5*" -A >out.txt                           
ldap_initialize( <DEFAULT> )
filter: employeenumber=5*
requesting: ALL
Size limit exceeded (4)

I've even tried the -z in the ldapsearch with -z 32767 and that still fails
at 500 records.

I've even tried to delete records recursively and I get the same error!

$ ldapdelete -r -D "ou=employee,dc=hsc,dc=mb,dc=ca"
"ou=employees,dc=hsc,dc=mb,dc=ca"                               
ldap_search: Size limit exceeded
Delete Result: Operation not allowed on nonleaf (66)
Additional info: subtree delete not supported

How can I get around this limitation?

Thanks,

Mauricio
