Hi, 

Active Directory (and ADAM) limits the maximum number of objects that are returned in a single search result. This limit is controlled using AD server parameter MaxPageSize. Default value is 1000. To perform a search where the result might exceed this number of objects, the client must specify the paged search control. 

Mozilla LDAP C SDK doesn't support the paged search control (RFC2696) and I added it for my needs (bulk load of public certificates from AD). I use the patched version for a while: since Sep'2009 for testing; since Oct'2009 in 3 production systems. Didn't see any problems so far. 

So, I'd like to contribute the patch that adds the paged search control.

Reproducible: Always
