[Owncloud] ldap function getUsers

[Dirk Kastens]

Hi,

I'm new to the owncloud project - just installed it yesterday.
First of all, let me say, that I'm very enthusiastic about the project 
and the simplicity of the installation process. Great work!!!
I'm planning on offering owncloud as a service at our university.

But there's one problem with the user_ldap app. Sharing files with other 
ldap users doesn't work. It's the way the getUsers function is 
implemented. We have about 50,000 users in our ldap directory. And we 
use anonymous authentication. But the search result is limited to 100 
entries, if the search is done anonymously.

So, if we do an anonymous search, it is unlikely that the requested 
user, that I want to share my files with, is among the returned users. 
On the other hand, if we connect with a binddn and all 50,000 users are 
returned, it takes a long time and it consumes a lot of memory (a php 
array with 50,000 entries).

Wouldn't it be better if a user could enter an arbitrary uid into the 
search field?
