ADAM: userspecific backlink attribute values not displayed on SEARCH result

[dj.psd]

I've created a userspecific attribute plus corresponding backlink
attribute.
Schema and follow-up data entry creation works fine.

Only odd thing: my user specific backlink attributes behaves different
compared to system backlink attributes, e.g. memberOf.
Whenever I do a ldap search on entries (retrieving all attributes), i
have to explicitly ask for my BL attributes to get it's values
returned, as if they where operational attributes. Values of memberOf
on the other hand are always retrieved, I don't have to explicitly
mention for this attribute, to get its values retrieved.

Is it possible to do the same on user specific backlink attributes, to
have its values always returned on searches? Is there maybe some
"operational attribute" bit I have to (de)activate?

Without seeing schema defs I would guess that the backlink attribute
wasn't added as a mayContain attribute of the user class.

Yes, adding it to my user class did fix it.

I have tried adding it as mayContain to top before (to be exact:
memberOf is in systemmaycontain of top), which seems to be not enough.
Obviously OC top would require it in systemmaycontain to show it in
default attr set, which I may not set.

You can't change systemMayContain of top, you would need to add it to
mayContain.
