RE: ldapsearch limit of 500 entries
I know you are suppose to make changes through the command line, when using cn=config. I tried changing it through ldapmodify, however wasn't able to get it to work. So changed it in the file and it did work. We are transitioning away from cn=config, so this is just a short term solution.

You are not supposed to manually edit the config database files. You should
have fed your change in to the running slapd using ldapmodify.
cn=config is a slapd database. It will very likely migrate to an LMDB backend
in the future. Don't get the notion of manually editing it into your head,
because it won't be possible.

There is no need to restart slapd to make configuration changes, if you do
them correctly - i.e., using ldapmodify.
