I still haven't looked at the source for the scriptableJNDIServices.attribute() 
method but I have looked at several packet captures and the observed behavior 
doesn't appear "right".  It appears as though this method never actually 
constructs an attribute list.  It appears to submit a search request for the 
base object and no attributes (effectively returning all attributes) and then 
picks the attribute needed out of the result set.  If this method constructed 
an actual attribute list based on the attribute name that was passed in it 
could be used for operational attributes and ranging.  It would also become a 
lot more efficient by eliminating a lot of unneeded data from the process.  Is 
this intended behavior or a bug/oversight?

Thanks for the feedback Sebastien. I do not have a lot of time to allocate to 
the effort but I will take a look at what was started for issue 254 and would 
be interested in continuing the work.  I thought I found a way to do this in 
JavaScript by manipulating the attribute name and submitting the supplemental 
searches using srcLDAP.attribute but I'm not getting the behavior I intuitively 
expected from that method.  I haven't looked at the source in detail but was 
curious if that method does any manipulation of the attribute name it gets 
passed?

Hi John,

You are 100% right, the code has been started but neither finished nor 
integrated (http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/254). If you are interested in 
implementing this feature, we will be glad to integrate it

Best regards,

Has anyone successfully replicated using LSC and Microsoft's implementation of 
ranging?  I saw the link to the KB about increasing the maxValRange registry 
setting.  I have no control over our domain controllers.  Our domain admins are 
heavily dependent upon Microsoft for support.  Our Microsoft contacts are 
insisting that we change the code instead of the registry.  I saw an old bug 
tracker case where someone appears to have started handling this in LSC code 
but I don't see where that work was ever finished.  I'm curious if anyone has 
done this before?   I don't want to re-invent the wheel if I don't have to.
