Set the time server (NTP)
You must have the correct time set on your CipherTrust Manager as this affects system functions, such as protected host registration, log timestamps, High Availability (HA) cluster synchronization, and certificate exchange. Although configuring a network time protocol (NTP) server is not mandatory, it is recommended. For HA setup, the NTP server is mandatory.
Select NTP in Admin Settings and enter an accessible time server. If the time server is not private, any public time server can be used. Make sure that the time server is accessible by CipherTrust.
