It's much, much worse than that[1].
I recommend you use the FileTimeValueTranscoder[2] that ships with
ldaptive, it will save you some pain.

The usage would look something like this:

LdapAttribute pwdLastSet = entry.getAttribute("pwdLastSet");
Calendar cal = pwdLastSet.getValue(new FileTimeValueTranscoder());
