Fetching Group Member with pagination - unboundid


I am fetching Group member from my active directory in which there are lot of records. I wanted to add Pagination support while retrieving it. is there any way unboundid support it.

Or i have manually add pagination.


Solution

  • I assume you are referring to the maxRangeValue constraints within Microsoft Active Directory. We are using code similar to:

    package com.willeke.ldap.microsoft;
    
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Collection;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.List;
    
    import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
    
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.Attribute;
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.LDAPConnection;
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.LDAPException;
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.SearchRequest;
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.SearchResultEntry;
    import com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.SearchScope;

    {
        static String thisClass = RangeBasedSearch.class.getName();
        static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(thisClass);
    
        /**
