Active Directory sets a max page size by default of 1000 entries. I’m seeing my READ_ONLY
LDAP connection only ever returning a maximum of 1000 groups from LDAP . Is it supposed
to support pagination?
The method seeing this limit is in GroupLDAPFederationMapper.java:
public UserFederationSyncResult syncDataFromFederationProviderToKeycloak() {
LDAPQuery.java method
public List<LDAPObject> getResultList() {
Calls LDAPQuery.java fetchQueryResults()
Which has this condition to check for pagination:
if (getConfig().isPagination() && identityQuery.getLimit() > 0) {
I have pagination set to True, but the identityQuery has a limit set to 0, so it never
enters the pagination branch. Am I missing something about how to configure the group
mapper to support pagination to fetch more than 1000 entries?
What this causes right now is for Keycloak to not see a user as a member of a group that
they are a member of because many groups beyond the 1000 have not been synchronized into
Keycloak.
I wonder if it would be better to support a Just-in-Time synchronization of just the
groups that users are members of rather than syncing all groups and trying to do a union
between the user groups and LDAP groups? I’d love to not have every group in the system
anyhow as it gets really unwieldy in the UI.
