The server does not return operational attributes unless the search
request explicitly asks for them (in the list of attributes to return).
A server extension (RFC 3673) allows you to ask for attribute "+" which
means all operational attributes.

Remember that when you ask for any attributes, all user attributes are
no longer returned by default - so you must ask for "*" if you want all
user attributes as well.
