Paged results may be used internally (or is requested by the user) by +LDAP libraries or tools that deal with large result sizes, for example, when +listing all the objects in the database. + +Previously, results were returned as a snapshot of the database but now, +some changes made to the set of results while paging may be reflected in the +responses. If strict inter-record consistency is required in answers (which is +not possible on Windows with large result sets), consider avoiding the paged +results control or alternatively, it might be possible to enforce restrictions +using the LDAP filter expression. + +For further details see https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Paged_Results + Prefork process restart ----------------------- -- 1.9.1
