Problem

In IDM UserApp, I need to convert an attribute value saved in eDirectory as "milliseconds from 1970" to a readable date format.

Solution

Add the following code for reading the attribute into the form:

d=new Date();
d.setTime(IDVault.get(recipient,'user','endDate') *1000);
p=d.getDate()+"."+d.getMonth()+"."+d.getFullYear();

Note that the Attribute end date must be added to the Directory Abstraction Layer.
