I want to use the entryDN attribute as a unique identifier. Is there any particular reason why I can't read this attribute using openldap.org's server? It won't return in searches I do.

entryDN is an operational attribute, so it is only returned if you explicitly ask for it in the search request. E.g.

ldapsearch -xLLL -h ldap.uio.no -b "dc=uio,dc=no" -s base "*" entryDN

Besides, for an unique identifier, what suites better entryUUID or entryDN ?

I plan to write an search interface and was thinking about tracking results ...

Many thanks
