Q:
I am trying to change the Login Expiration Time via Delimited text driver. I get the following error:

An exception occurred: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "01-Jul-2005"

Can someone guide me to the correct format for the date/time?

A:
The correct format is an integer representing the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970. Search for SimpleDateFormat at any of the following:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/novell.support.nsure-identity-manager
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/novell.devsup.dirxml

to find examples of policies that convert the date from whatever format you have in your input to that required by eDirectory.
