ERROR_DS_NO_REQUESTED_ATTS_FOUND

The requested attribute set produced no values

LDAP search and read operations distinguish an entry that exists from attributes that are absent on that entry. This status is about the requested attribute selection: the server found no requested attributes to return in the relevant object set. It should not automatically be diagnosed as an object-not-found condition or as a schema-definition failure.

Review the attribute list sent by the client, the object classes of the returned entries, and whether the attributes are operational or constructed. LDAP does not return every operational attribute merely because a client asks for all user attributes. Active Directory also has attributes whose availability depends on object type, server role, or explicit request by name.

What to inspect

  • Log the exact requested attribute names and search base.
  • Verify the schema names and object classes before changing ACLs.
  • Request operational or constructed attributes explicitly when the API requires it.
