It looks like
UtcTime
currently has a lower bound of 1970.I'm very open to wording tweaks IFF a documentation change ends up being the way to address this.
RFC 5280 says that
UTCTime
is 1950-2049, however due the common use ofcomputer times being based off of
UNIX_EPOCH
the implementation ofUtcTime
is limited to 1970.This limitation is due to the
MIN_YEAR
bounding validDateTime
structs.
The
DateTime
struct is the underlying implementation ofUTCTime
.Thanks!
