Range Results
Active Directory may not return all the values of an attribute, electing instead to provide the client with a range of attribute values. This practice is documented in an expired RFC: Incremental Retrieval of Multi-valued Properties. For instance, requests for the member attribute may return a result like: member;Range=0-1000. The client is then expected to request additional attribute values of the form member;Range=1001-2000 and so forth until all values have been retrieved. An EntryHandler is provided to handle this behavior.
RangeEntryHandler
SearchOperation search = new SearchOperation(new DefaultConnectionFactory("ldap://directory.ldaptive.org"));
search.setSearchResultHandlers(new RangeEntryHandler());
SearchResponse res = search.execute(SearchRequest.builder()
.dn("dc=ldaptive,dc=org")
.filter("(sn=fisher)")
.returnAttributes("mail", "displayName")
.build());
LdapEntry entry = res.getEntry(); // if you're expecting a single entry
for (LdapEntry le : res.getEntries()) { // if you're expecting multiple entries
// do something useful with the entry
}Note that this entry handler can only be used with the blocking search methods as it requires the connection to remain open while additional searches are performed.
