Does the existence of these extra attributes cause your ldap queries to
fail?  Or is your admin just wondering why they are there?

I don't know about iPlanet, but I have never seen any attributes like
this in Active Directory, so even if you specifically asked for them in
your query, there would be nothing to return anyway.

Unless you wanted to put in a support call to Macromedia, I would just
say, "That's the way it is."  Many of us use CFLDAP and I have not seen
this issue other than when you asked it a while back.

It's good to have an anal system admin, but at some point, they just
gotta let it go.

Subject: Hoping *someone* can help me with my LDAP question

Well, I have posted this question practically everywhere yet I have no
answers and even worse, I really don't know where to go next.  If there
is someone that could recommend a support path, I would *really*
appreciate it as this is causing big problems for me.  Here are the
details:

When I run an LDAP query, Coldfusion is asking for a bunch of additional
Java objects. I would hope that someone can help me explain it to my
LDAP admin that it's normal, or at least what they are.

Here's the LDAP query I'm trying to perform:

<cfldap action="query"
name="qCheckUsername"
server="#ldapserver#"
port="389"
attributes="uid"
maxrows="100"
start="cn=People,ou=school,dc=edu"
scope="subtree"
filter="(uid=#someuid#)"
username="uid=#myuserid#,cn=people,ou=school,dc=edu"
password="#mypassword#">

The problem that I'm having is instead of ColdFusion only asking for
just the UID in the LDAP query, it is also asking for a bunch of other
stuff. Take a look at what iPlanet shows in the logs:

attrs="uid objectClass javaSerializedData javaClassName javaFactory
javaCodebase javaReferenceAddress javaClassNames javaremotelocation"

Any idea why ColdFusion (and/or the java subsystem) is asking for all of
those extra attributes? Know what they are? I really only need the uid.
My LDAP admin is extremely tight and does not want to give access to
those objects because he doesn't know what they are so unfortunately I
can't get any info at all!

So, I just need to figure out what those extra attributes are so then
maybe I can convince him to allow CF to see them.  Any help would be
very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike
