Configuring NTP

SSMC allows you to configure NTP on the appliance through the config_security.sh script.

Prerequisites
Ensure that the NTP host is added to the outbound whitelist when host_access feature is enabled.
Procedure
  1. Set the FQDN or IPv4 or IPv6 address of the NTP server to the ssmc.ntp.DnsOrIP property in /ssmc/conf/security_config.properties to add an NTP host to the SSMC appliance.

    ssmc.ntp.DnsOrIP=<your_ntp_host_name_or_ip_address>

  2. Run the following command to commit the configuration and enable the service:

    sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o configure_ntp -a set -f

  3. Run the following command to reset the configuration and disable the service:

    sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o configure_ntp -a reset -f
