getGeneralizedTime

public static String getGeneralizedTime(long time)

Parameters:

time - the time value to be converted to generalized time string

Returns:

getGeneralizedTime(TimeProvider)

convertIntervalDate

public static Date convertIntervalDate(String intervalDate)
                                throws ParseException

Converts the 18-digit Active Directory timestamps, also named 'Windows NT time format' or 'Win32 FILETIME or SYSTEMTIME'. These are used in Microsoft Active Directory for pwdLastSet, accountExpires, LastLogon, LastLogonTimestamp and LastPwdSet. The timestamp is the number of 100-nanoseconds intervals (1 nanosecond = one billionth of a second) since Jan 1, 1601 UTC.

Parameters:

intervalDate - 18-digit number. Time in 100-nanoseconds intervals since 1.1.1601

Returns:

The converted date

Throws:

ParseException - If the given interval is not valid
