Rob,

Try using + \* (plus space backslash asterisk) to return all operational and normal attributes.

It depends on what attributes are needed. If you need things like userPassword that are normally not visible you should bind as the Directory Manager.

In order to get the full entry, including operational attributes, you probably need two searches. One for * (default) and one for +
(operational) and then combine the results. At least I don't know of a way to get both at once.
