Configuring NTP servers

  1. Escape to general bash shell by pressing X in the TUI.

  2. Add one or more comma-separated lists of valid FQDN, IPv4, or IPv6 addresses of NTP servers for the ssmc.ntp.DnsOrIP property in the /ssmc/conf/security_config.properties file.

  3. To apply the configuration settings, execute the sudo /ssmc/bin/config_security.sh -o configure_ntp -a set command.

  4. To restart the NTP service, select yes on the prompt.

  5. Verify that the configuration is successful and the service is active and continues to receive time synch feeds. Service start messages must appear in /var/log/appliance.log and /var/log/syslog.

  6. To verify that the host time is synchronized with the NTP server time, execute the date command from shell.
