I've been unable to retrieve operational attributes using the API. I think the server is microsoft AD but I'm not sure.
I give more detail about what I'm doing below but my question is simple: How do I retrieve operational attributes using this API? Here's my search call: connection.search(dn, LdapConstants.OBJECT_CLASS_STAR, SearchScope.OBJECT, SchemaConstants.ALL_ATTRIBUTES_ARRAY); When I iterate over the results and inspect the attributes of an entry I don't find the operational attributes. I was looking at the API code a bit and it seems that operational attributes are somehow associated with a schema manager so that's the next thing I tried. I put this before the search call: connection.setSchemaManager(new DefaultSchemaManager()); But this fails now with an exception: 2018-02-16 07:18:52,034 WARN [NioProcessor-1] - The attribute 'usncreated' cannot be stored-DefaultEntry.<init>330 2018-02-16 07:18:52,034 WARN [NioProcessor-1] - ERR_04269 ATTRIBUTE_TYPE for OID usncreated does not exist!-LdapNetworkConnection.exceptionCaught1973 org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.exception.LdapNoSuchAttributeException: ERR_04269 ATTRIBUTE_TYPE for OID usncreated does not exist! at org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.schema.registries.DefaultAttributeTypeRegistry.lookup(DefaultAttributeTypeRegistry.java:304) at org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.schema.registries.DefaultAttributeTypeRegistry.lookup(DefaultAttributeTypeRegistry.java:47) at org.apache.directory.api.ldap.schema.manager.impl.DefaultSchemaManager.lookupAttributeTypeRegistry(DefaultSchemaManager.java:1756) at org.apache.directory.api.ldap.model.entry.DefaultEntry.<init>(DefaultEntry.java:318) at org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.LdapNetworkConnection.messageReceived(LdapNetworkConnection.java:2311) at org.apache.mina.core.filterchain.DefaultIoFilterChain$TailFilter.messageReceived(DefaultIoFilterChain.java:858) I've also downloaded Apache Directory Studio and connected to the same server and enabled the 'Fetch operational attributes while browsing' feature on the connection. I can see the operational attributes when I inspect a DN. I just can't seem to do it using this API. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, Kevin.
