Unable to handle more than 1000 values

[warisfutile]

If I submit a record change against an entry that has more than 1000 values for a given attribute it will remove anything over 1000.

Example: If I have a user's attribute called 'host' where I define a list of all the hosts a user has access to and it already has 1000 hosts listed; if I try to add host 1001, it will remove one of the host from the list keeping me at 1000 max values.

I think this is a limitation of your LDAP server, for example, see: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/limits.html

I thought so too at first but we did testing and found out it was because PLA appears to be resubmitting the entire LDIF for change instead of just the deltas

I just downloaded the latest version of php ldapadmin, I found the 1000 user limit is on any RHEL 6.6 machines, but it is not on rhel 5.x machines. Is this a php or ldap limit?

Hello, ancient ones. Found it.

CentOS7:

$ grep -B1 max_input_vars /etc/php.ini
; How many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted
; max_input_vars = 1000

So, add a file:

$ cat /etc/php.d/max_input_vars.ini
; boost the http-parameters-per-POST limit so we can edit large LDAP groups in phpldapadmin
max_input_vars = 5000

and bounce apache.
