While this might be feasible within OpenDJ server I'd strongly recommend not
to mess around with the time format.

Because you probably don't want time strings *always* with CEST zone. You
rather want the *correct* time *displayed* in your *current* local time zone
(CET or CEST) in whatever client (which one?) you're using.

But this is a client implementation problem for which the client has to deal
with parsing the time strings including time zone information stored in the
string.

I'm pretty sure that most LDAP clients - if doing anything at all with the
time zone - are only capable to parse Zulu time.

Ciao, Michael.
