How to get list of user givenname property from an LDAP search for a group?

Question

I am trying to fetch a list of users (user fullnames) belong to TEST group. The search query I am using is

NamingEnumeration<?> enumeration = ldapCtx.search("ou=staff,o=filenet,dc=test,dc=com", "(cn=TEST_GROUP)", searchCtls);

It returns the group with uniquemembers list containing dn of all users. How do I fetch the fullname for these users ?

Note: I am using Tivoli Directory service. But a generic answer is fine.

The DN *is* the full name. Unclear what you're asking. – user207421 Apr 24 '18 at 10:43 — user207421, Apr 24 '18 at 10:43
I want the given name property of a user. Not the DN. – stackMan10 Apr 24 '18 at 10:47 — stackMan10, Apr 24 '18 at 10:47
Doesn't say so in your question. Clarify it. – user207421 Apr 24 '18 at 17:00 — user207421, Apr 24 '18 at 17:00

You can't fetch all member's group fullnames in one LDAP request because there's no joins in LDAP. You should load members data individually from their DN to get fullnames.
