Re: [Evolution] Connecting to LDAP address book

[James Pifer <jep obrien-pifer com>]

Steve,

The LDAP support stops at a 1000 I believe. I also tried to use LDAP and
we have thousands of users. I ended up getting an export of the users
and creating an additional address book with those users. Over time it
will get out of sync, but for now it is a worthwhile work around.
Hopefully they'll increase, or remove, that limitation in Evolution.
