The server does not return operational attributes unless the search request explicitly asks for them (in the list of attributes to return). A server extension (RFC 3673) allows you to ask for attribute "+" which means all operational attributes. Remember that when you ask for any attributes, all user attributes are no longer returned by default - so you must ask for "*" if you want all user attributes as well. -- Hallvard Don't anthropomorphize computers.
