• Key Concepts: 
  LDAP paged search is a feature of the BC-SEC Security component of SAP software. It allows users to search for information stored in an LDAP directory in a more efficient manner. The search is divided into "pages" of results, which can be retrieved one at a time. This reduces the amount of data that needs to be transferred between the client and the server, making the search process faster and more efficient.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use LDAP paged search, users must first configure their LDAP directory to support paged searches. This can be done by setting the "pagedResultsEnabled" parameter to "true" in the LDAP configuration file. Once this is done, users can then use the "ldapsearch" command to perform a paged search. The command should include the "-E pr=" option, where  is the number of results that should be returned per page. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When performing an LDAP paged search, it is important to set an appropriate page size. If the page size is too small, then too many requests will need to be made and the search will take longer than necessary. On the other hand, if the page size is too large, then too much data will be transferred and the search will take longer than necessary as well. It is best to experiment with different page sizes to find one that works best for your particular situation.
