Re: Is there ~1000 value limit for multi-valued attributes is ADAM?

Note that the limit isn't a hard limit, it is an approximate. It depends on the values being written. Once that limit is achieved you will see something like an admin limit exceeded error and you will no longer be able to add any new attribute values to the object unless the attribute in question has already had a value set.

I believe the limitation in ADAM is supposed to be 1300 for "normal" multi-valued attributes.

If you want unlimited values, you need to use a DN syntax (like 2.5.5.1) and make sure the attribute is linked with a proper linkID. Note that this must be done at creation time, so if your attribute is not like that already, you would need to start over with a different attribute.

I'm not positive if or where this is documented, but I know it to be true.

Is there a 1000 (1024 of 1300) value limit to the number of values that can
assigned to a multi-valued attribute? Is this information available
online/within any ADAM documentation?

Thank you,
