Re: PageControl mode should not be affected by sizelimit (ITS#3367)



Let me add that if your want the default size limit to be different (e.g.
higher than default) when the client is issuing the paged results control,
this can be done (at the server side) by using appropriate "limits"
directives.  See slapd.conf(5) for details.
