mass delete : size limit problem

["Mikael Kermorgant" <mikael.kermorgant@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'd like to run a script that deletes everything from ou=People (~ 5000 users).
The problem is that I first run a search and the result size is limited by the server.

Increasing thiis limit would surely work but I don't find it very elegant. Do you see another solution ?

Thanks in advance,

PS : My script does the following :


retrieveAttributes = [ "entrydn" ]
searchFilter = "(uid=*)"

ldap_result_id = l.search(baseDN, searchScope, searchFilter, retrieveAttributes)
while 1:
    result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
    if (result_data == []):
        break
    else:
        if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
            print result_data[0][1]['entrydn'][0] + ' deleted'
            l.delete_s(result_data[0][1]['entrydn'][0])
