Defines the start of a period either the day and month or the actual date. Defines the duration of a period. Defines the end of a period either the day and month or the actual date. The attributes of the OTA DateTimeSpan data type are based on the W3C base data types of timeInstant and timeDuration. The lexical representation for timeDuration is the [ISO 8601] extended format PnYn MnDTnH nMnS, where nY represents the number of years, nM the number of months, nD the number of days, 'T' is the date/time separator, nH the number of hours, nM the number of minutes and nS the number of seconds. The number of seconds can include decimal digits to arbitrary precision. As an example, 7 months, 2 days, 2hours and 30 minutes would be expressed as P0Y7M2DT2H30M0S. Truncated representations are allowed provided they conform to ISO 8601 format. Time periods, i.e. specific durations of time, can be represented by supplying two items of information: a start instant and a duration or a start instant and an end instant or an end instant and a duration. The OTA standards use the XML mapping that provides for two elements to represent the specific period of time; a startInstant and a duration. The starting value of the time span.
rate durations are always of the type Date, e.g. 2008-02-02 to 2008-02-02. The applicable rate is always the one of the morning at which the guest "wakes up", e.g. if a guest stays from 2008-02-01 to 2008-02-02, the rate of 2008-02-02 applies.

 This password provides an additional level of security that the recipient can use to validate the sending party's authority to use the message.
Authentication can be performed on 2 layers: (1) A system can be trusted based on its network address IP, this is for example the case for a channel manager application deployed within seekdas infrastructure. If the IP is trustes the switch accepts that the message is performing an action on behalf of the entity identified by the @URL attribute. (2) If the IP from which the request originates is not trusted the identity of the entity identified by the URL attribute is verified using the message password. Username (email extracted from @URL) and password will be verified against the seekda LDAP server. Password changes and lost passwords can be requested at: https://seekda.com/edit_password respectively https://seekda.com/passwordrecovery. OTA does force a maximum length on the password which seekda does not, therefore the password is expected not to be in clear text, but hashed using the Crypt algorithm which output is always 11 character long. Free Java implementation of crypt can be found at http://www.dynamic.net.au/christos/crypt/. In order for authentication to work you need to used "ab" as salt for the crypt algorithm.
