    env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
    env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "yourURL");

    DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);

    // Get an attribute of that type
    Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes("cn=YourName, ou=People", new String[] { "cn" });
    Attribute cnAttr = attrs.get("cn");

    // Get its attribute definition
    DirContext cnSchema = cnAttr.getAttributeDefinition();

    // Get cnSchema's attributes
    Attributes cnAttrs = cnSchema.getAttributes("");
