Thank you, but I don't want to have to modify the server configuration. 
Actually I am writing software that has to be installed on the 
customer's network, and if every application using LDAP has to modify 
the server's configuration, I don't want to be the administrator...
Moreover, even if not every user has to be able to retrieve all the 
entries of a search result, I can't know who will have to be.

I am sorry, I thought it was not implemented.
Where can I find a documentation about how to use the C API to implement 
this on an LDAP client ?
Just to get all the information I need, with the former versions, was it 
possible to retrieve the complet result of a search without using paged 
search, and without an unlimited size ?
