The details likely vary. LDAP is rather loosely defined. However, it maps onto X.500 which has far more precise definitions, so the major implementations hopefully resemble each other in their behavior. In OpenLDAP, I think adminLimitExceeded normally means the operation would exceed a hard limit set in the server, including one which resembles ds-cfg-lookthrough-limit. <size/time>LimitExceeded means it would exceed a limit set by the client, or a soft (default) limit in the server which the client can override up to the hard limit. -- Hallvard
