In eDirectory, the time is stored as an integer. Zero equals 12:00 midnight, January 1, 1970, UTC, and the value equals the number of whole seconds since that time.
The LDAP server converts the eDirectory time to the LDAP format specified by X.208 which includes the year, month, day, hour, minute, optionally seconds, and time zone (GMT is recommended for the time zone and uses Z as its symbol). An attribute with an LDAP time syntax would have a value similar to the following:
199412161032Z or 19941216103200Z
Two Time values are compared by comparing the Integer_T values.
