   • In an Active Directory, the user name must have one of the following formats: DOMAIN\USER and/or USER@DOMAIN.
   • This account does not have to be an administrator.
   • You have the ability to store the connection information. If this option is used, it is important not to store the password of an administrator.

In this case, to remove this limitation, it is necessary to modify the LDAP MaxPageSize parameter. See https://support.microsoft.com/kb/315071 for more details.
