RE: problems with large groupOfUniqueNames (ITS#1181)

["Mayers, Philip J" <p.mayers@ic.ac.uk>]

Kurt, All,

I'm having similar problems - can anyone give me a rough idea of how to
guesstimate the appropriate limit for a given size entry - specifically, an
RFC2307 posixGroup with N memberUid attributes of X bytes? (N~20000, X~10)

Also, is it true to say that outgoing PDUs are not size limited, so an
ldapsearch on such an entry will correctly return the entire entry?

Regards, 
Phil

2.0.8 and later restrict the incoming PDU size to 256K.
You likely are exceeding this list.  You can raise it
by setting sockbuf_max_incoming (in slapd.conf) to a
more appropriate limit for your environment.  The
directive takes one argument, a size limit in bytes.

The next release will include a separate
sockbuf_max_incoming_auth directive to set a
different limit for authenticated users.  The next
release will also include updates to slapd.conf(5).
