public final class AuthRate
extends LDAPCommandLineTool
implements java.io.Serializable

This class provides a tool that can be used to test authentication processing in an LDAP directory server using multiple threads. Each authentication will consist of two operations: a search to find the target entry followed by a bind to verify the credentials for that user. The search will use the given base DN and filter, either or both of which may be a value pattern as described in the ValuePattern class. This makes it possible to search over a range of entries rather than repeatedly performing searches with the same base DN and filter.

Some of the APIs demonstrated by this example include:

• Argument Parsing (from the com.unboundid.util.args package)
• LDAP Command-Line Tool (from the com.unboundid.util package)
• LDAP Communication (from the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk package)
• Value Patterns (from the com.unboundid.util package)

Each search must match exactly one entry, and this tool will then attempt to authenticate as the user associated with that entry. It supports simple authentication, as well as the CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and PLAIN SASL mechanisms.

All of the necessary information is provided using command line arguments. Supported arguments include those allowed by the LDAPCommandLineTool class, as well as the following additional arguments:

• "-b {baseDN}" or "--baseDN {baseDN}" -- specifies the base DN to use for the searches. This must be provided. It may be a simple DN, or it may be a value pattern to express a range of base DNs.
• "-s {scope}" or "--scope {scope}" -- specifies the scope to use for the search. The scope value should be one of "base", "one", "sub", or "subord". If this isn't specified, then a scope of "sub" will be used.
• "-f {filter}" or "--filter {filter}" -- specifies the filter to use for the searches. This must be provided. It may be a simple filter, or it may be a value pattern to express a range of filters.
• "-A {name}" or "--attribute {name}" -- specifies the name of an attribute that should be included in entries returned from the server. If this is not provided, then all user attributes will be requested. This may include special tokens that the server may interpret, like "1.1" to indicate that no attributes should be returned, "*", for all user attributes, or "+" for all operational attributes. Multiple attributes may be requested with multiple instances of this argument.
• "-C {password}" or "--credentials {password}" -- specifies the password to use when authenticating users identified by the searches.
• "-a {authType}" or "--authType {authType}" -- specifies the type of authentication to attempt. Supported values include "SIMPLE", "CRAM-MD5", "DIGEST-MD5", and "PLAIN".
• "-t {num}" or "--numThreads {num}" -- specifies the number of concurrent threads to use when performing the authentication processing. If this is not provided, then a default of one thread will be used.
• "-i {sec}" or "--intervalDuration {sec}" -- specifies the length of time in seconds between lines out output. If this is not provided, then a default interval duration of five seconds will be used.
• "-I {num}" or "--numIntervals {num}" -- specifies the maximum number of intervals for which to run. If this is not provided, then it will run forever.
• "-r {auths-per-second}" or "--ratePerSecond {auths-per-second}" -- specifies the target number of authorizations to perform per second. It is still necessary to specify a sufficient number of threads for achieving this rate. If this option is not provided, then the tool will run at the maximum rate for the specified number of threads.
• "--variableRateData {path}" -- specifies the path to a file containing information needed to allow the tool to vary the target rate over time. If this option is not provided, then the tool will either use a fixed target rate as specified by the "--ratePerSecond" argument, or it will run at the maximum rate.
• "--generateSampleRateFile {path}" -- specifies the path to a file to which sample data will be written illustrating and describing the format of the file expected to be used in conjunction with the "--variableRateData" argument.
• "--warmUpIntervals {num}" -- specifies the number of intervals to complete before beginning overall statistics collection.
• "--timestampFormat {format}" -- specifies the format to use for timestamps included before each output line. The format may be one of "none" (for no timestamps), "with-date" (to include both the date and the time), or "without-date" (to include only time time).
• "--suppressErrorResultCodes" -- Indicates that information about the result codes for failed operations should not be displayed.
• "-c" or "--csv" -- Generate output in CSV format rather than a display-friendly format.
