I would like to do a search using ldapsearh in order to get the last

"Last" depends on the way you assign numbers. You could randomly generate ID
numbers. But you probably asked how to determine the highest stored ID.
An interesting approach was proposed by Kurt to use the server-side-sorting
control to let the server return LDAP results in reverse order and use
searchlimit=1. Of course your server has to support that control.
The caveat is that you cannot (re-)assign IDs if you have some gaps. It works
good when you have continously assigned IDs.
Don't forget to use slapo-unique to enforce unique IDs within the LDAP server.
