In the current implementation, it is not possible to list security descriptors for certain objects, e.g. Active Directory DNS records. The reason for this is that objects like DNS records do not belong to a different root DN rather than the default root DN that is used in the query.
I fixed this by keeping the query as-is for SAM account names, and changing it for DNs such that the entered DN is the search root and the scope is
ldap.ScopeBaseObject
so only the exact object that corresponds to the DN is returned.
