Description

Perform repeated searches against an LDAP directory server and modify each entry returned.

Examples

Test search and modify performance by searching randomly across a set of one million users located below 'dc=example,dc=com' with ten concurrent threads. The entries returned to the client will include the givenName, sn, and mail attributes, and the description attribute of each entry returned will be replaced with a string of ten randomly-selected alphanumeric characters.
search-and-mod-rate --hostname server.example.com --port 389 \
     --bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
     --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --scope sub --filter "(uid=user.[1-1000000])" \
     --attribute givenName --attribute sn --attribute mail \
     --modifyAttribute description --valueLength 10 \
     --characterSet abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789 --numThreads 10
