LDAP import fails with error - Administrative Limit Exceeded
Symptom:
All parameters for Directory Import (LDAP) appear to be configured properly but the preview and import both fail with the message: Administrative Limit Exceeded.
Detailed Information:
The LDAP server has a limit on the number of records it can return at once, e.g., your query returns 200 results but the server has a limit of 100 results at one time. You will need to locate that setting on your LDAP server and increase the number so that the import can proceed, or add filters to your query to reduce the number of results it returns. The setting limiting the number of records returned is specific to the LDAP server and cannot be overridden by EMF.
Resolution:
Find the configuration option on the LDAP server that is restricting the number of records returned, and increase the limit. Then retry your import with EMF.
