You know, the attributes exist in his directory (it's a directory of all the students on campus - not AD) and they are all empty. However, he does not want to allow access to them because he doesn't know if they'll be filled with information down the road.
I guess what I really need to know is why those attributes are being requested so that I can convince him that the are harmless and only used for software interfacing and nothing more. I just don't know if it's coldfusion that's asking for them, or the java subsystem. And if it's the java subsystem, would macromedia even have any information?
