[Jxplorer-users] Re: Jxplorer converting MS attributes such as pwdLastSet

[Chris Betts]

Hi Joseph,

'binary' (e.g. non string) attributes can be easily displayed in
a custom manner by writing a plug in attribute editor - however
string attributes (such as postal addresses) require modification of
the table attribute display code. I'm not sure which category
pwdLastSet falls into - what syntax is it?

cheers!

Chris

Hi, I use Jxplore and I must say its great! I manly use it against
our large Microsoft Active Directory and am wondering if the
following can be achieved.
When I look at say a user attribute in Table Editor and look at the
whenCreated attribute by clicking on the value it automatically
converts this value to a human readable date, great stuff! Do you
know if the same can be done for other attributes such as
pwdLastSet? I have done some searching around but could not find
anything, thanks.

Hi Joseph,

have a look at the user documentation on www.jxplorer.org,
specifically the page on writing editors for special data types:
http://jxplorer.org/documents/customise/atteditors.html.
(Documentation -> Customisation Guide -> Att. Editors).

Of course, if you can't be bothered we'll be happy to write it
for you for a very reasonable fee :-).

cheers,

Chris

Hello Chris and thanks for the quick reply, pwdLastSet seems to be
binary here is a typical example of the value: 127760558061513173
Are you able to detail how I can display this in a custom manner by
writing a plug in attribute editor please?
Thanks and regards
