[python-ldap] Ldap search doesn't return all attributes required

[Francisco Méndez]

Hi,

I'm new in the list, I hope I'll find some help here. Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to do a simple search in a LDAP directory.  From a main routine,
I call two functions: one to connect to the LDAP directory (I just want to
make a search, so I do not bind) and then, I call the function that makes
the search. The problem: not all atributtes are returned, I have no way to
get "employeeNumber" attribute. No error given. Other attributes (cn,
homeDirectory) are returned correctly.

MAIN ROUTINE

*[...]*
*l.connect2()*
*filter="(cn=*)"*
*search  =
l.search2("ou=People",filter,["cn","employeeNumber","homeDirectory"])*
*[...]*

*        ## first you must open a connection to the server*

retrieveAttributes)*
*            result_set = []*
*            while 1:*
*                result_type, result_data =
self.connection.result(ldap_result_id, 0)*
*                pdb.set_trace()*
*                if (result_data == []):*
*                    break*
*                else:*
*                    if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:*
*                        result_set.append(result_data)*
*            return result_set*
*        except ldap.LDAPError, e:*
