8.22 <strong>iManager</strong> and LDAP Use Different Date Ranges<br />
If you create an attribute in <strong>iManager</strong> using the Time syntax, populate the attribute value, and then<br />
search for that value using LDAP, LDAP returns a value different from the value populated by<br />
<strong>iManager</strong>.<br />
<strong>iManager</strong> and LDAP both natively store date values using the first 31 bits of a 32‐bit unsigned<br />
integer. However, the two applications interpret the most significant bit (MSB) in the integer<br />
differently, with <strong>iManager</strong> using the MSB to store dates earlier than 1970 and LDAP using the MSB to<br />
store dates later than 2038. Therefore, the date range used by <strong>iManager</strong> is 1903‐2038, while the date<br />
range used by LDAP is 1970‐2106.<br />
