Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-427:
-------------------------------------------
There is some 'magic': When "Show Operational Attributes" is turned off and you
add an operational attribute or an attribute not specified in the schema then
it is turned on automatically.
Maybe we should rethink about this "Show Operational Attributes" checkbox.
Currently it has two functions:
1st: A filter function for the entry editor. When displaying the attributes of
an entry there is a check if it is operational. This is the case if the usage
differes from "userApplications" or if the attribute type doesn't exist in the
schema at all.
2nd: Whether to fetch operational attributes from the directory or not (add a
"+" to the list of returned attributes or not)
I think it would be better so separate these concerns:
The "Show Operational Attributes" checkbox should only have the filter
function, like the other checkboxes "Show objectClass|must|may attributes".
Whether to fetch operational attributes from the directory should be configured
diffently. I'd like to suggest to add an option in the connection properties
for this which fetches operational attributes for each entry. Additional we
should make it possible to fetch operational attributes on a per-request basis.
Thoughts?
