Issue in displaying date/time fields (for eg., expire_time) in receipt page when guest tries to register for an account using non English web-browser.
Example:
Diagnostics:
When the date/time is displayed in the receipt page, browsers with other language cannot understand the format "longdate".
Solution
To fix this we can display the date/time in standard format using the steps provided below.
Navigate to ClearPass Guest >> Configuration >> Pages >> Guest Self-Registrations >> select the self-registration page >> Edit >> Receipt Page >> Form and edit the fields(eg: start_time and expire_time).
You will find the "Static Display Arguments" configured as “longdate?”, which would display the expire time as highlited below and may cause issue when you are using non-english browser for self-registration.
Modify the "Static Display Arguments" value to the format “%Y-%m-%d %h:%M?:” to address the issue.
The date and time for activation/expiry will be displayed as shown below when using the above format and works with all the browser languages.
There are different types of NwaDateFormat(date/time formats) available in ClearPass and one of them could also replace longdate under "Static Display Arguments" as required.
The list is as follows :

The % items on the right hand side are the same as those supported by the php function strftime().
The string “?:”, if present will return the string following the “?:” if the time value is 0. Otherwise, the format string up to the “?:” is used.
