In traditional LDAP directory server implementations you would bind to the
directory and then query it for the schema. The CF documentaiton "Viewing
the Directory Schema" has a code sample.
Objectclasses and their attributes are defined by the Directory Manager
usually using LDIF files called by ldapmodify - some LDAP server's such as
iPlanet's Directory Server provide a Java based GUI client for this task.
Be aware though that in order to obtain the value of an attribute the
application needs to bind to the directory as a user who has authority to
read the required attribute; this authority is defined by a series of ACIs
(access control instructions). The default anonymous access will not allow
details such as user passwords etc. to be returned.

Subject: Somewhat OT: CFLDAP Attributes.
Hi all:
I have a quick question that hopefully someone can answer.
When you want to get info from an exchange server (5.5 on NT Server),
through a <cfldap query, how do you find out the attribute names (i.e.
username, primary NT account, name, email, etc.)? Who sets these attribute
names and where?
Thanks,
Jeff
