Let me add to Michael's reply that you don't see any extra attribute from 
OpenLDAP because they're operational so they must be EXPLICTLY requested,
e.g. by listing them one by one (comma separated) in the "attributes"
part of the URI; OpenLDAP implements a shortcut, "+", that means ALL
OPERATIONAL ATTRIBUTES (see draft-zeilenga-ldap-opattrs-XX).
