Still here...

The default access controls we have in our directory will only permit the
DSA manager - which Bing is binding as, so that's OK - read access to
createTimestamp.

As others have pointed out, createTimestamp is an operational attribute, so
will only be returned over LDAP when the client explicitly asks for it.

So I suspect the problem is either that you aren't explicitly specifying in
the search operation that you want the createTimestamp back, or the way
you're accessing the entries back via as_struct is wrong.

To check the attributes are really coming back over the network, set debug
=> 12 when you create the LDAP object. You will then get a whole load of
output to stderr which is a dump of the raw protocol. Hopefully you'll see
the createTimestamps being returned.

I haven't used as_struct myself, so can't comment on that part.

Cheers,
