Active Directory groups with more than 1500 members don't properly synchronize with XWiki Groups

The issue reproduces for a LDAP group with 1716 members which didn't properly synchronize with the XWiki Group.

As softec investigated:

AD has a limitation on the number of attribute values returned by a query, and require that a range value is used for attribute having more than 1500 values.
XWiki does not seems to support properly group of that size, this is a limitation of the product.
The retrieval of group members is done with a single query, similar to:

-b "<group dn>" '' objectClass uniquemember memberuid member sAMAccountName

and to retrieve properly member of a large group, the following would be needed:

-b "<group dn>" '' objectClass uniquemember memberuid 'member;range=1500-2000' sAMAccountName

Using ldapsearch, it automatically limit the range to 0-1499, but without any range, apparently no value of attribute member is returned.
As a result, the group is seen empty.
