I’‘m using AD. I only get 1000 entries in the user summary page. that’'s a default of AD. but i can query a user no problem. my example user was one whose username starts with a ‘‘y’’. i just queried for it and it found it. so you are probably not having a problem
Yep, idl3mind is correct. Active Directory can only return 1000 users from a query which is why you’‘re seeing that many. I haven’'t been able to find a workaround yet. This will only affect the UI in the admin console, though – all users should be able to use the service.
This is something you definitely don’‘t want to do - it can lead to a performance problems with AD. Besides, changing the value could help you one time, but then there’'s always another search that would require to change the value again.
There is a solution, but it should be implemented into the application code. The query should be done with using a RFC 2698 standard LDAP paged search.
