Converting AD Password Attribute from UTC to a Java Timestamp
Problem
I needed to convert the AD Attribute pwdLastSet from UTC time to a Java/SQL/DB2 format such as this: 20060425205130Z
I looked at the jadutils transformEpoch2FileTime and FileTimetoEpoch, but they don't do what I want.
Solution
I created my own Java class to convert it:
/*
* Utilities.java
*
* Created on September 14, 2006, 12:32 PM
*/
package com.acme.util;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
/**
*
* @author e144717
*/
public class Utilities {
/** Creates a new instance of Utilities */
public Utilities() {
}
public static String fileTime2timestamp(String s)
{
long pwdSetDate = java.lang.Long.parseLong(s);
long timeAdjust=11644473600000L; // adjust factor for converting it
to java
Date pwdSet = new Date(pwdSetDate/10000-timeAdjust); //
DateFormat mydate = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
return(mydate.format(pwdSet));
}
