Returning multivalued attributes (such as member)?

[tstiemerling]

Noticed that when I query a group for the member attribute, the member attribute is returned as a string if there is only one member, and as an array if there is more than one member - meaning I have to handle this in my code. Wondering if this a common expected pattern? I am guessing that ldapjs doesnt know apriori whether it will get a single value or multiple values back.

Yes, that's is the expected behavior. It is inconvenient at times, but changing the API would likely incur heavy breakage for a large number of users.

Looking over the code again, there might be a pretty easy way to expose what you're looking for.
I'll work on it later this evening.
