Public bug reported:

As described here:
https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=7351&offset=0&limit=10

The Mahara LDAP auth plugin (which was originally written for PHP 5.3)
doesn't do paginated LDAP requests. This causes problems with
ActiveDirectory, which will only return 1000 results at a time.

PHP 5.4 added support for paginated LDAP. We should update the auth
plugin to use this functionality. In order to still work in 5.3, we
should use a function_exists() call to check for the existence of the
paginated LDAP methods and only use them if they're available.
