Hi,

it's the timezone. If you check the LDAP field in the schema definition you can see the syntax that is used:

attributetype ( 2.16.840.1.113719.1.301.4.45.1
                NAME 'krbLastPwdChange'
                EQUALITY generalizedTimeMatch
                SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24
                SINGLE-VALUE)

If you google for the syntax OID, you get this:

http://www.alvestrand.no/objectid/1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24.html

Submitted by j.onions at nexor.co.uk from host 128.243.9.53 (128.243.9.53) on Tue Sep 22 16:03:42 MET DST 1998 using a WWW entry form.
OID value: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24

OID description:
Values in this syntax are encoded as printable strings, represented as specified in X.208. Note that the time zone must be specified. It is strongly recommended that GMT time be used.

( 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.24 DESC 'Generalized Time' )
So if you ask me, i'd say it's the timezone.

KR,

Oliver
