Date & Time

Configuration

In Nodeum v1

Date & Time management follow these principles rules:

  • Server Operating System Date & Time is set in UTC.

  • In the background, the Nodeum scheduler uses the UTC time as a time reference. Conversions to your local timezone are done automatically by the application.

  • Nodeum Web Console is using Browser Time.

In Nodeum v2

Date & Time management follow these principles rules:

  • Server Operating System Date & Time is set in local time.

  • In the background, the Nodeum scheduler uses the OS time definition as a time reference.

  • Nodeum Web Console is using Browser Time.

Operating System

Nodeum Web Console

Time Offset between your browser and the Operating System of the server which host Nodeum can't be higher than 15 min. If this is the case, you can see such kind of error message in the Nodeum Web Console:

To avoid this situation, it is important to configure the Date & Time settings properly, and using the NTP mode is highly recommended.

Operating System Date & Time

To configure the "Date & Time" go to the menu

System -> Date & Time

Two different ways to configure:

  • Configuring manually the system date & time

  • Use NTP service to synchronize the system date & time

Manual Configuration

You have to configure Date & Time in Manual configuration and set the right Date and Time.

Time has to be configured in the appropriated format.

NTP Configuration

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of different systems and have matching times across the platforms. NTP configuration is mandatory if NODEUM has to be connected to an Active Directory server. In an Active Directory environment, it is very important for all clocks to be within 5 minutes of each other (by default) due to the implementation of the Kerberos protocol for authentication.

Select NTP in the configuration and define the list of NTP Servers you want to use as time references.
