[higgins-dev] Setting search limits

[Rajalakshmi S Iyer <iyer_rajalakshmi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

When an IdAS search is capable of returning a large number of entities, it
is desirable to define some limits on the search like result set size limit
and time limits.

For example, in case of a JNDI context provider, it is possible to do this
by defining some configuration parameters for these limits. This allows for
a common limits setting for all applications that use the particular
instance of a context. If different applications use the same context and
want to set different limits, then that is not possible.

I want to know if there should be any general strategy in IdAS API that
allows for setting limits on a search?

Thanks,
Best regards,
