Some Examples on How To use ldapsearch with the Simple Paged Results Control
The Simple Paged Results Control allows a search operation to return only a subset of the results at a time. It can be used to iterate through the search results a page at a time. It is similar to the Virtual List View Control with the exception that it does not require the results to be sorted and can only be used to iterate sequentially through the search results.
Use the ldapsearch command with the --simplePageSize option. The following command also uses the --countEntries option to mark each page.Here is a LDAP Query Example Using the Simple Paged Results Control on a particular LDAP Server:
$ ldapsearch --hostname localhost --port 1389 --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password --searchScope sub --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --simplePageSize 2 --countEntries "(objectclass=*)" dn: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalunit objectClass: top ou: Groups dn: ou=People,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalunit objectClass: top ou: People # Total number of matching entries: 2 dn: ou=Special Users,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top description: Special Administrative Accounts ou: Special Users dn: ou=Company Servers,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top description: Standard branch for Company Server registration ou: Company Servers # Total number of matching entries: 2 dn: ou=Contractors,dc=example,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit objectClass: top ou: Contractors ou: Product Testing ou: Product Development ou: Accounting # Total number of matching entries: 1
