Hi,
Our datetime conversion does not support full LDAP Generalized
time syntax. In the unsupported cases, we should fall back
to string representation of the attribute.
In particular, '0' is used to denote no value of LDAP generalized
time attribute.

NACK, this beats the purpose of decoding of the values, because it
requires you to check the type of the value before using it.
Instead, you should either fix the code that uses the
nsds5ReplicaLastUpdate{Start,End} attributes to access their raw value
directly, or exclude the attributes from decoding to datetime by
overriding their type in IPASimpleLDAPObject._SYNTAX_OVERRIDE.

I agree that just returning a string when conversion fails is the wrong
thing to do.
I think that if LDAP generalized can contain the empty/invalid value, we
should convert the '0' to what Python uses for that -- None.
