(RADIATOR) ExpirationDate format crashes Util.pm

[Dave Kitabjian]

Hey folks,

We just had a problem yesterday that smoothly "failed over" from one
Radiator box to another until they all "failed". 

We introduced a software bug that started provisioning ExpirationDates
in the following format:

Mon Nov 15 14:30:33 2004: DEBUG: LDAP got nccheckitem:
Expiration="12/18/2004"

Rather than the "correct" format:

Tue Nov 16 11:41:24 2004: DEBUG: LDAP got nccheckitem: Expiration="Nov
21 2005"

The result was an error which I thought was in the logs, but must have
been just to standard error, because today I can't find any record of
it. It was from Util.pm and it was something about the "month" being out
of the range "0..11". Sadly, it crashed Radiator completely :-(

Now, we're running 2.19, and I found the below post in the archives.
Does this mean that the new version of Util.pm on 3.6 fixes the behavior
I'm describing?

Thanks,

Dave

Hello,

WE have now added support for an optional time component in ValidFrom,
ValidTo 
and Expiration. Some valid examples are:

Dec 30 1998
Dec 30, 2000
December 30, 2000
Dec 30, 2000 11:30:00
2002-02-02 23:00:00
30/12/2002 01:00:00
30.12.2002

There is a new version of Util.pm in the 3.6 patches area that supports
all 
these syntaxes.
Please let me know how you go.

Cheers.
