As per the current design the memberOf attribute is of type operational and thus needs to be explicitly asked for. Is there a easy way to update the schema and change the type of the attribute from Operational to userApplication so that the attribute will be returned by default ? I tried to update the schema using a ldif file but I am getting the following error:- error code 80 - olcAttributeTypes: Duplicate attributeType: 1.2.840.113556.1.2.102

As the Admin Guide states, schema elements in the cn=schema,cn=config entry are hardcoded.
The only way to change them is by modifying the slapd source code.

Whatever client seems to have this requirement of yours is broken. Fix the application.
