OUD - Error "Administrative limit exceeded (11)" Encountered when the Total Number of Entries is Less than the "lookthrough-limit" Setting (Doc ID 2281571.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 24, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle Unified Directory - Version 11.1.2.3.1 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

The Global Configuration setting for the "lookthrough-limit" was set to 300,000. The number of objects in the <BACKEND_ID> backend is roughly 240,000 entries. When objectclass=* queries are run, limit exceeded errors occur even though the number of entries doesn't exceed the limit.

Here's a sample of the query and error:

$ ldapsearch -h localhost -x -LLL -b <SUFFIX_DN> objectclass=* dn |grep "^dn:" |wc -l
Administrative limit exceeded (11)
Additional information: This search operation has checked the maximum of 300000 entries for matches
