+Description: Allow writing ISO-8601 conform date strings into dateOfBirth
+Author: Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel at das-netzwerkteam.de>
+Abstract:
+ Handling LDAP attribute dateOfBirth with GOsa² is a big mess. Why?
+ Nothing has been localized when it comes to date handling in GOsa².
+ GOsa² handles dates the very very German way (concerning the date
+ format).
+ .
+ While developing gosa-plugin-schoolmanager for Debian Edu, we require to
+ be able to write the same date format to LDAP (via GOsa² API) as is
+ returned via an LDAP search (via GOsa² API).
+ .
+ The $ldap->search() command in GOsa² returns LDAP's dateOfBirth
+ attribute as-stored-in-LDAP, i.e. in ISO-8601 date format (YYYY-MM-DD).
+ However, when writing back to LDAP, you have to give a "German" date
+ format (D{1,2}.M{1,2}.YYYY). This is all very unhandy when working with
+ dateOfBirth in an import tool for user accounts.
+ .
+ This patch does not affect any dateOfBirth handling in GOsa² WebGUI.
+ However, it allows one to directly store ISO-8601 formatted date strings
+ back into LDAP.
