Alex Karasulu commented on DIRSERVER-939:
-----------------------------------------

This is an extremely interesting feature for LDAP.  I say this because as you know entries can have any number of AUXILIARY objectClasses and these different objectClasses are a different aspect or view of the entry.  By requesting a specific set of attributes based on the objectClass client code for marshalling objects for a specific interface is simplified.  I can see several use cases for this.  However I do think this is a nice to have feature rather than a critical one.

+1 to add it and adding it should not at all be that difficult considering how well isolated the code is for returning various attributes.  I suspect there is a request control in here that is involved with the search request to modify the returned set of attributes.

> It would be interesting to implement RFC 4529, which says that if we add an objectClass into the list of returned attributes, then all the objectClass attributes are to be returned.
