Hi,
the entry for the createtimestamp shows 20110725054811Z it may be in
yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-Z format
while the date is correct , the time is still a problem.
5h 48mins 11secs. Seems to be correct.
Can you tell me in which format apacheds is storing the timestamp and how
can it convert it into human readable format.
RFC 4517 :
3.3.13. Generalized Time
A value of the Generalized Time syntax is a character string
representing a date and time. The LDAP-specific encoding of a value
of this syntax is a restriction of the format defined in [ISO8601],
and is described by the following ABNF:
GeneralizedTime = century year month day hour
[ minute [ second / leap-second ] ]
[ fraction ]
g-time-zone
century = 2(%x30-39) ; "00" to "99"
year = 2(%x30-39) ; "00" to "99"
month = ( %x30 %x31-39 ) ; "01" (January) to "09"
/ ( %x31 %x30-32 ) ; "10" to "12"
day = ( %x30 %x31-39 ) ; "01" to "09"
/ ( %x31-32 %x30-39 ) ; "10" to "29"
/ ( %x33 %x30-31 ) ; "30" to "31"
hour = ( %x30-31 %x30-39 ) / ( %x32 %x30-33 ) ; "00" to "23"
minute = %x30-35 %x30-39 ; "00" to "59"
second = ( %x30-35 %x30-39 ) ; "00" to "59"
leap-second = ( %x36 %x30 ) ; "60"
fraction = ( DOT / COMMA ) 1*(%x30-39)
g-time-zone = %x5A ; "Z"
/ g-differential
g-differential = ( MINUS / PLUS ) hour [ minute ]
MINUS = %x2D ; minus sign ("-")
The<DOT>,<COMMA>, and<PLUS> rules are defined in [RFC4512].
The above ABNF allows character strings that do not represent valid
dates (in the Gregorian calendar) and/or valid times (e.g., February
31, 1994). Such character strings SHOULD be considered invalid for
this syntax.
The time value represents coordinated universal time (equivalent to
Greenwich Mean Time) if the "Z" form of<g-time-zone> is used;
otherwise, the value represents a local time in the time zone
indicated by<g-differential>. In the latter case, coordinated
universal time can be calculated by subtracting the differential from
the local time. The "Z" form of<g-time-zone> SHOULD be used in
preference to<g-differential>.
If<minute> is omitted, then<fraction> represents a fraction of an
hour; otherwise, if<second> and<leap-second> are omitted, then
<fraction> represents a fraction of a minute; otherwise,<fraction>
represents a fraction of a second.
Examples:
199412161032Z
199412160532-0500
Both example values represent the same coordinated universal time:
10:32 AM, December 16, 1994.
The LDAP definition for the Generalized Time syntax is:
( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24 DESC 'Generalized Time' )
This syntax corresponds to the GeneralizedTime ASN.1 type from
[ASN.1], with the constraint that local time without a differential
SHALL NOT be used.
