How to search for users with RSA Mobile administration GUI
Cause
The iPlanet Directory Server has 2 types of administrators with significant power: 1) "Topology Manager" (the user "admin" is an example) and 2) "cn=Directory Manager". For any accounts other than ?Directory Manager?, wildcard searches can be restricted by a parameter called the ?look through limit?, which is set to 5000 by default on a iPlanet system.
Resolution
For a new installation, in step 1 for configuring iPlanet LDAP, the file called "configuredatastore.cmd" is altered to have site specific data. At this stage, modify the line shown as:

    @rem set LDAP_ACCOUNT_DN="uid=admin,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement,o=netscaperoot"

to the following:

    set LDAP_ACCOUNT_DN="cn=Directory Manager"
On an existing installation, you can modify the behavior of the iPlanet Directory Server using the iPlanet console; the "Look-through" limit needs to be modified. For example, on iPlanet 5.1, the steps would be as follows:

1. Go to the Directory Server --> Configuration

2. Expand tree view: Data --> Database Settings

3. Click on LDBM Plug-in Settings

4. Increase Look-through limit
