The property which is required for this object. I thought there could be
some calls to figure out whether the attribute required or not (also if
it RDN or structural or just plain attribute). I know It's possible to
analize the schema to figure that out, but maybe there is a simple way.

So if the attribute=value equals to first part of full DN then it is
RDN, right?

To be more specific, there is a code to process ldap search result:

-------------------------
for (entry = ldap_first_entry(ld, msg); entry != NULL; entry = ldap_next_entry(ld, entry)) {
    // process entry here ...
    for( attr = ldap_first_attribute(ld, entry, &ber); attr != NULL; attr = ldap_next_attribute(ld, entry, ber)) {
        // process attributes here ...
        if ((vals = ldap_get_values(ld, entry, attr)) != NULL) {
            for(i = 0; vals[i]; i++) {
                // processing values here ...
            }
        }
    }
}
-------------------------

Say I want to fill GUI table for each entry with such Headers: Attribute, Values, Attribute Type (RDN|Required|Structural)

So, I need to have a way to know whether each attibute is RDN or Required or Structural, etc
