Failed Search: SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED, TIMEOUT

The search can fail with a SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED or TIMEOUT message if you specify a filter that does not sufficiently narrow the search. Most LDAP Servers limit the size of the result set returned from a search request. If you exceed this limit, you receive a SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED message. If your search request takes longer than the default timeout of 20 seconds, the LDAP server times out your request and you receive a TIMEOUT error message similar to the following:
