It depends on what attributes are needed. If you need things like
userPassword that are normally not visible you should bind as the
Directory Manager.

In order to get the full entry, including operational attributes, you
probably need two searches. One for * (default) and one for +
(operational) and then combine the results. At least I don't know of a
way to get both at once.

how to export/import a single ldap user

[David Ritenour]

Rob,

Try using  + * (plus space backslash asterisk) to return all operational and normal attributes.
