This is only applicable where Siteminder is integrated.
When running a user search (user_id=*) on user store with large user base, the task fails with the following error message in smps.log:
[1033/3009][Tue Feb 10 2009 02:00:48][IMS6DsLdapProvider.cpp:2920][ERROR] (CIMSDsLdapProvider::FindIMSObjects) Search failed for filter: (&(objectclass=top)(objectclass=person)(objectclass=organizationalperson) (objectclass=inetorgperson)(objectclass=idmsuser)(uid=*)) [1033/3009][Tue Feb 10 2009 02:00:48][IMS6DsLdapProvider.cpp:2921][ERROR] (CIMSDsLdapProvider::FindIMSObjects) DS error message 'Timed out'
Note:
There is another parameter - Max results(In policy server user console)/maxrows(directory.xml), this does not limit the results return by a search, instead it returns an error 'Sizelimit exceeded' when the number of results exceed the value, which is not a desirable.
