Cloudpath

General Options

Name:

System Clock (By URL)

Cloudpath Help :

Cloudpath can detect the system clock. This is important when server certificates are used for authentication to ensure the machine does not incorrectly believe the certificate is expired. This setting will query the current timestamp from a URL. If the URL is unavailable, the user will be prompted to confirm their current system clock. If the system clock differs by more than 7 days, the user will be prompted to correct the system clock.

Supported settings include:

In Sync - Default. The system clock must be within the range specified.

Cloudpath supports auto remediation of this setting.

If a PHP, JSP, or ASP deployment package is used, the package contains a timestamp file in tools. In these cases, leave the URL blank and the system will automatically use the timestamp file.

If an HTML deployment package is used, this needs to be the full URL (for example http://1.1.1.1/timestamp.txt) to a timestamp file. The timestamp file needs to contain the current timestamp in the format TIMESTAMP:YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS. There are a couple options as to how this file is handled. First, it may be queried from another server which contains scripting capabilities. The second option is to have a scheduled task regularly update the timestamp text file.
