Try to use a strategy like this one - get all objectclasses in ou=people,ou=users,o=org (= one search for the attribute objectclass) - get the attributes for the objectclasses found (= one call to $schema->must() and $schema->may() per objectclass) - combine & uniq the lists of attributes found from the calls above Depending on your use case you might consider doing this not interactively but on a regular schedule in a spearate job and have the results stored in a config file.
