Re-encode all or a specified portion of the entries in a local DB backend.
This tool may be used to initiate a task that will cause a local DB backend to re-encode all or a specified subset of the entries that it contains. The contents of the entries will not be altered, but this provides a useful mechanism for applying significant changes to the way that entries are actually stored in the backend (e.g., to apply encoding changes if a feature like data encryption or uncached attributes or entries is enabled).
This tool schedules an operation to run within the Directory Server's process. LDAP connection options must be supplied that allow this tool to communicate with the server through its task interface. Tasks can be scheduled to run immediately or at a later time (see Task Scheduling Options below). Once scheduled, tasks can be managed using the manage-tasks tool.
Re-encode all entries in the userRoot backend:
re-encode-entries --hostname directory.example.com --port 389 \
--bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
--backendID userRoot
Re-encode all fully-cached entries in the userRoot backend, rate-limited to no more than 100 entries per second:
re-encode-entries --hostname directory.example.com --port 389 \
--bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com --bindPassword password \
--backendID userRoot --skipFullyUncachedEntries \
--skipPartiallyUncachedEntries --ratePerSecond 100
