[AG-TECH] Re : Manage Certificates from VenueClient problems on Ubuntu Karmic (Time data doesn't match format), and Control Access

[Marcolino.Pires at ac-paris.fr]

Hi

I have front several times this problem, the solution is to add somthing like this in the AccessGrid python file causing the problem

import locale
...
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')
...

I can't tell you the exact file because I do not access an AccessGrid client right now

Best regards
