on a search can the sizeLimit be > 1000?

Question

On a Search directory, can the size limit be > 1000? I can specify a number higher than 1000 but only 1000 objects are returned. I know there are more than 1000. How does one make sure they get all of the objects they want in the search query?

Hello,

How exactly do you perform the search that you see limited to 1000 results?

Also, could you, please, specify what version of Adaxes you are currently using? For information on how to check it, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/CheckServiceVersion.

Adaxes version is 3.14.18804.0

Here is my search snippet (Python)

ldapFilter = "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(adaxesBusinessUnit=XXX)(c=US))"

requestParams = { "baseObject": "DC=ad,DC=garmin,DC=com", "filter": ldapFilter, "sizeLimit": 2000, "properties": ["adaxesBusinessUnit,employeeID,distinguishedName,displayName,c"] }

r = s.get(URL+"/api/directoryObjects/search", params=requestParams, headers={"Adm-Authorization": token}) print(r.status_code)

Hello,

Thank you for the provided details. Unfortunately, there is currently no possibility to overcome the limit when performing a search using Adaxes REST API. The only workaround is to make multiple requests. This is a known behavior and we will address it in the next major release.

How do you do a paged query with Adaxes when there isn't a sorted set to retrieve?

Hello,

In case of REST API, it can only be done by making partial searches where each will have not more than 1000 results. By partial search here, we mean adjusting search criteria so that you only get a part of the entire required result which has more than 1000 elements.

As another option, you can use an ADSI script instead of REST API. It will not have the limit and you can directly get all the desired results. For examples, have a look at the following SDK article: https://adaxes.com/sdk/SampleScripts.SearchingUserAccounts.

Hello,

The new version of Adaxes where the REST API search limit was addressed is released. You can download it from here.
