So, did you try to use exactly same JSON request as 'ipa -vvv user-find --all' shows?
From your terse responses it is unclear at what state you are since my morning's answers. You seem to ignore suggestions we made -- at least, you are not showing what's different for you.

There is no combination of the 'all':somevalue that seem to trigger a proper all response. This is either broken or improperly documented. I've tried 'all':True 'all':1 all:'True'

See my other answer.
I think what you are confused about as well is the fact that 'user_find' is not the command that returns _everything_ from the user entries it finds. Instead, it returns a curated list of attributes -- there are two lists, actually, -- one for a normal (without --all) and one for extended operation. The reason for that is because in all '<object>-find' calls we don't want to resolve potential membership information for an object to be returned. The list of members/membership would be too involving in case of a large database which would slow down find operations a lot. As result, we tuned find operation to provide a smaller subset (still, --all produces a bit larger one too). If you need all attributes, use '<object>-show' instead, once you found the name for an object.

Ugh, on further testing; the ipa python console is giving different responses that the code I'm using in a python script.
In the ipa console, the additional attributes are listed.
In the script I'm setting up a python-freeipa.Client object (called client)and passing the following call:
client.user_find(all=True)
and the user records that are returned are still only the 'default' attributes, even though the attributes are set and have values.
This is the code I'm testing, it's loading all the variables from a configuration file provided by the config object.
# First two lines import the project's configuration and logging objects from this.configuration import config, args from this.log import base_logger from python_freeipa import Client
logger = base_logger.getChild(__name__)
if config['freeipa'].getboolean('enabled') is True: if config['freeipa'].getboolean('verify_ssl') is not True: logger.warning( 'Verifying TLS connection to %s disabled.' % config['freeipa']['server'] ) logger.info('freeIPA startup') client = Client( config['freeipa']['server'], version=config['freeipa']['version'], verify_ssl=config['freeipa'].getboolean('verify_ssl') ) client.login( config['freeipa']['user'], config['freeipa']['password'] ) else: logger.info('freeIPA disabled')
def ipa_query(*dargs, **kwargs): if config['freeipa'].getboolean('enabled') is True: return client.user_find(*dargs, **kwargs) else: logger.info('freeIPA disabled') return None
ipa_query(all=True)

We need to be able to user-find to search for users by these attributes, both from the command line and the python-freeipa module. There does not seem to be an equivalent of the --setattr command on the find function to search by attributes provided by additional objectclass
schema. This is a bit different. You need to make sure you injected those attributes into existing object definitions if you want to see them used by the baseldap.py machinery.
Can you show a code you use to extend IPA classes?

I am on a bus :) your suggestion are things I have already tried. I know the command line works.
My question is “what is the correct REST API query parameter that duplicates the —all command line parameter?”
