Hello,

I have recently created a simple intranet with liferay 6.05 and I have a small bug with the directory portlet.

In the account user and in the database the birthday is correct, but when I search for a user in the directory the birthday always appears minus one day.

For example if Joe Bloggs'real birthday is April 1st 2010. In the directory I will see as birthday March 30th 2010.

Is there a problem with de default configuration of the directory portlet?

thank you in advance.

UPDATE
Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate to Control Panel > My Account
2. Under the right hand column, select "Display Settings" under "Miscellaneous"
3. Change "Time Zone" to UTC plus 13 or more hours or UTC minus 1 or more hours (e.g. "UTC + 13:00" or "UTC - 01:00")
4. Add a directory portlet and look up any user; user's birthday will appear to be actual birthday minus one day

**It seems the correct birthday displays only within 12 hours ahead of UTC
