The system date and time, i.e. the date&time value returned by the operating system when queried for the current point in time, is used in many places throughout the system.
In order to prevent inconsistencies with date&time values the Application Server checks the conditions listed in table 1 on every startup.
Condition |
Description |
Database Server time synchronized |
The system date on the database server that hosts the Application Server Database must be within 2 minutes of the system date on the server that hosts the Application Server. If the Application Server and the Database Server are installed on the same machine this is of course never a problem. |
Login attempts older than current date time |
All stored authentication attempts must be dated before the current system date. |
Table 1: Conditions that have to be fulfilled so that the system date & time is considered valid
