#2152 Implement heuristics to detect if POSIX attributes have been replicated to the Global Catalog or not
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by jhrozek.

20:19 < simo> jhrozek: right after we search rootdse make a search for (uidNumber=*) under cn=users
20:19 < simo> if anything is returned we know it is ok to stay with gc
20:19 < simo> otherwise we disconnect, and switch to normal LDAP
20:19 < simo> we can use a control to limit how many entries are returned too
20:20 < simo> using the paged search and telling AD to return 5 entries pages or so
20:20 < simo> so we do not have to process a ton of data just for  probing

This is quite important, several users complained about us switching all lookups to GC by default already. Picking up.
