2.8.4  Verifying Time Synchronization

To verify that time is synchronized in the tree, run DSRepair from a server in the Tree that has at 
least Read/Write rights to the Tree object.

NetWare

At the server console, load 

dsrepair.nlm

.

Select

For help interpreting the log, click F1. 

NOTE: 

The following command will help troubleshoot time synchronization issues:

set timesync debug=7

Run the following command:

ndsrepair -T

2.9  Security Considerations

The LDAP binds should take place over a secure connection. We recommend that you always use a 
SSL/TLS connection; else:

• The key transmitted over the wire can be sniffed out. So you need to physically secure the 

corporate network against eaves-dropping or “packet sniffing”.

• You need to keep the servers in a physically secure location with access by authorized 

personnel only.

• When the product is used by users outside of the corporate firewall, a VPN should be 

employed.
