ldapsearch outputs LDIF format with comment lines. It's just a ASCII 
representation format for directory entries (or another variant for 
modifications).

If your application directly searches via LDAP it will receive the data 
structures in the LDAP search results and handle that. It will maybe ask 
for this particular attribute itself. If it's correctly implemented you 
don't have to do anything else. Ask the application developers if in 
doubt or examine your logs to see what they do.
