(This is really a user level question, my apologies.)

Is there some sort of fetch all method in the LDAP result object that I have missed?

object result = c->search("(&(courseCode=hfoa77*)((objectclass=LiuStudent))", 0, ({ "uid" })); mapping uids = ({}); do { uids += result->fetch()->uid; } while(result->next());

is not really optimal.
