When communicating with an Active Directory through the AD namespace, SiteMinder responds to sorting and paging requests as follows:

• If both isPagingCritical() and isSortingCritical() return false in the SmDmsCursor object, the result set is returned. No sorting and paging operations are performed.
• If either isPagingCritical() or isSortingCritical() returns true in the SmDmsCursor object, an error occurs. No result set is returned.

You specify whether sorting and paging operations are critical in the SmDmsCursor constructor.
