I'm migrating a DS from RHDS 8.2 to 389 DS and i'm having an issue attributes of type 'Generalized Time'.

One my old LDAP server, i could set dates in this format: 20160215133951.842

389 DS 1.2.11 doesn't seem to allow this local time version. Is there any way to enable/allow this?

Not that I know of, but "20160215133951.842"  does not seem to comply with the LDAP RFC for generalized time:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4517#section-3.3.13

Actually it does allow for the period, so it should be valid... Please open a ticket to have this investigated:

Not sure I'm reading this correctly, but according to this notation, g-time-zone needs to be there after fraction which contains dot or comma and is optional.

      GeneralizedTime = century year month day hour
                           [ minute [ second / leap-second ] ]
                           [ fraction ]
                           g-time-zone

And g-time-zone has to end with Z or g-differential.

      g-time-zone     = %x5A  ; "Z"
                        / g-differential
      g-differential  = ( MINUS / PLUS ) hour [ minute ]

So, it looks to me the allowed formats are ...

      Examples:
         199412161032Z
         199412160532-0500
         199412160532+0500

as well as

20141006133000.0Z
20141006133000.0-0500
20141006133000.0+0500

Could it be possible to try adding 'Z' at the end of 20160215133951.842 and see how 389-ds-base-1.2.11.x reacts?

Thanks,
