LDAP searches don't return a cn attribute
If you add a Person document to the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory without using IBM® Lotus® Notes® registration, and you enter a hierarchical name in the FullName (User name) field, the leftmost part of the distinguished name does not automatically become the cn (common name) attribute value. You must add the common name as a second value in the FullName field to define a cn attribute for the entry.

This is also true for groups and servers. if you add a Group or Server document to the Domino Directory without using Notes registration, you must add the common name as a second value in the ListName or ServerName fields

Person documents created through Notes registration automatically have a second value added to the FullName field to define the cn attribute.
