Retrieving All Attributes can be tricky especially if you do not know the names of all the attributes on an entry.AttributeSelection element of a search request provides a way of representing the attributes that should be included in SearchResultEntry.
Although not supported by all LDAP Server Implementations; The following may help when constructing LDAP SearchFilters:
- Using the "*" for the attribute list will return all UserApplications attributes.
- Using the "+" for the attribute list may, LDAP Server Implementations, return all operational Attributes.
- Using the "* +" for the attribute list may, LDAP Server Implementations, return all operational Attributes and UserApplications attributes.
Return all operational Attributes ("+") LDAP Server Implementations supporting this feature SHOULD publish the Object Identifier 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.5.1 as a value of the 'supportedFeatures' RFC 3674 attribute in the root DSE.
