RE: [ldap] Re: Version of Netscape Directory Service portocol
I agree that RFC 2251/2252 need clarification on this point.

The answer was in X.511(97) section 7.6:
If the allUserAttributes option is selected,
then information is requested about all user attributes in the entry.
This option is equivalent to an empty or "*" search list in LDAPv3.
Hence, I believe the compliant behavior is to only return
operational attributes when requested.
Note: X.511 refers to an allOperationalAttributes option.
LDAPv3 does not have such, but could... it's been suggested
before that "+" be used to indicate allOperationalAttributes
(the OpenLDAP server supports this).
Regardless of whether you agree with my logic here or not, I
hope you would agree that RFC 2251 needs to be clarified in
this area (and other areas). I hope we can initiate LDAPv3 soon.
