I have configured many software products with ldap access at work. None of it scans the whole directory. The problem is, that oc won't recognize changes in the directory. When I add a new ldap user or when I change the group membership of a user, I expect that the software immediately recognizes the changes. It's not very user friendly if I have to wait for the next complete rescan of the directory to discover the changes.

Try to increase the Cache TTL to make it run more smoothly. However, every
now  and then it needs to be updated.

Why not create an option in the LDAP-backend/Admin app to (pre-)scan the
directory? That way the administrator can determine when it's a good time to
query the 'whole' directory instead of it being invoked when the first user
request triggers it. I'm not sure, but maybe this way there's also a(n elegant)
way to avoid timeouts.
Would using the cron feature a proper way to update the cache and/or fill it in
the first place?

Note: I haven't used the LDAP backend (yet?), so this is just me brainstorming.
Hope it helps.
