Configuring an Application Server’s Date and Time
By default, the Application Server’s date and time are based on the time set in the operating
system. You may choose to peg the server’s time to the time of another server. The other
server must either be running an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server, or have the time
protocol enabled in its
inetd
super-server daemon.

iControl admin
