But this is exactly what your LDAP-record contains. What else should there
be? And no, you don't need a parser, as the above _is_ the parsed result.
No parser can possibly give you anything else.
You can of course create wrapper-objects, that you instantiate based on the
values in 'objectClass', and that allow convenient access to certain
properties. Yet this is entirely up to you, as there is no one else who can
forsee how things should look and work like in _your_ application.
