Site Server LDAP Service Gives Wrong Year If You Use a Two-Digit Year Format in a Web Object (289216)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP1
  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP1

This article was previously published under Q289216

SYMPTOMS

In Site Server, when you create a Web object that has a time attribute that contains a two-digit format for a year, Site Server's Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) service may not interpret the data correctly. For example, 1920 may be sent as 20 and interpreted as 2020 by the server.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Site Server is expecting a four-digit year.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, first create the object without the time attributes, and then set the time attributes.
