Sync more then 999 user through Websphere LDAP connectors

Wer have more then 1000 users in Netcool installation. In RBA we are getting quite often 403 error after 30 minuts since LDAP synchronization stops at 999 user.

It would just be nice, if connector would support LDAP v3 protocol with custom option posibility.

    We are not going to add this Idea to our roadmap right now, however we’ll keep it on record and revisit it if things change in the future. If you want to discuss this decision further, please contact Jahnvi Bedia at jahnvibedia.28@ibm.com.

    Looking forward to receiving more ideas from you on the IBM Ideas Portal.

    Hi,

    We’ve been reviewing the LDAP paging issue and wanted to share a quick update based on our internal testing.

    It appears that the issue may be due to a mismatch between the WebSphere searchPageSize and your LDAP server’s MaxPageSize. When the WIM configuration requests more entries than the LDAP server allows, the results get capped.

    To help resolve this, we recommend trying the following:

    $AdminTask updateIdMgrLDAPRepository {-id uldap.technik.kabel-deutschland.de -supportPaging true -searchPageSize 900}

    After running the command, please restart the WebSphere server and retry the user search in the console.

    Additionally, if possible, please share your custom LDAP policy and wimconfig.xml files. This would help us validate the configuration and provide more targeted guidance.

    Let us know if you're open to testing this change, we're happy to assist further. Thank you!

    This has nothing to do with netcool, just with WebSphere connector. It doesn't support custom options like ldapsearch option -E pr=900/noprompt.

    This allow to go over server limit and synchonizes users in batches of 900 users at once until it's done.
