[Owncloud] OC5: LDAP Users<-> Group association don't work

[Pierre Malard]

Thanks a lot László,

Your advice and explanations are always clear and precise. They allowed me to really understand the mechanisms of ownCloud and better set it.

That's really great. I don't understand this field as this, however, it was clear. In this regard, the new documentation is really good.

That means you ask for the results from the LDAP server in smaller chunks (pages), rather than having it all at once. I guess not all LDAP servers support paged search, or at least you have to change the config of the LDAP server to support it. You should check the docs of your LDAP server.

I would look for this way on our old LDAP service to resolv it.

Thanks
