I am assuming that you mean a request for dereference where no
attributeList is requested?
No, I meant the attributes holding the reference are not present in the
entry.
Off the top of my head, I do not know, but
this is something we should check to see if our behaviour is correct
according to the provided RFC. Reading the RFC it doesn't seem to
specify how an empty attributeList should be handled, but in my view,
it should "do nothing" since no attributes were requested.
The I-D does not say much about error conditions.
But I also think if anything's missing the server should simply return
what's present and can be returned but not error out.
Ciao, Michael.
