Get internal attributes with Spring LDAP

I'm using Spring LDAP 1.3.0 library to access an internal LDAP server, with Java, but I'm having troubles to do one thing: how can I get an internal attribute of any structure of LDAP? For example, how can I get the memberOf attribute of an user?

I ever searched a lot but don't find anything about that using Spring LDAP. Any ideas will be very welcome. Thanks.

I use this to get fields like "createTimestamp" or "pwdChangedTime", and UserContextMapper you can reference resources: http://docs.spring.io/spring-ldap/docs/1.3.x-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/

ldapTemplate.lookup(dn, new String[] {"*", "+"}, new UserContextMapper());

As you said in comment UserAttributeMapper is your friend !

If the user has more than one 'memberof' :

    static List<List<String>> getPersonGroupsByAccountName(String accountName){

    EqualsFilter filter = new EqualsFilter("sAMAccountName", accountName);
    return ldap.search(DistinguishedName.EMPTY_PATH,filter.encode(),new AttributesMapper(){
        public Object mapFromAttributes(
                javax.naming.directory.Attributes attrs)
        throws javax.naming.NamingException {
            List<String> memberof = new ArrayList();
            for (Enumeration vals = attrs.get("memberOf").getAll(); vals.hasMoreElements();) {
                memberof.add((String)vals.nextElement());
            }
            return memberof;
        }
    });

I'm sure there is a better way to do this but it works.

It also works with odmManager. Something like

DistinguishedName dn = new DistinguishedName("The path your are searching in");
SearchControls searchControls = new SearchControls();
searchControls.setReturningObjFlag(true);
searchControls.setReturningAttributes("your attributes, as an array of strings");
return odmManager.findAll(User.class, dn, searchControls);

I use this to get fields like "createTimestamp" ....
