You could do that in ldap?

Got it.  Yeah, then a list of subjectIds is probably the best.  For the 
iterator it would need to be a callback so the statement could be closed and 
the connection returned to pool.  E.g. 

source.allSubjectsProcessor(new ProcessorCallback() {
  public void process(int index, Subject subject) {
    //do some logic to the ldap...
  }

});

So like I said, the list of ids is probably better and easier for source 
implementers to do...  a little while ago I added 
Source.getSubjectsByIds(Collection<String>) which could speed things up here 
perhaps...
