Overview

Date and Time settings in zMan Director allow administrators to configure time-related behavior for managed zTC devices.

Date and Time settings can be created as part of a reusable device settings configuration and applied to individual zTC devices or groups of devices.

---

Date and Time Configuration

Date and Time settings may include configuration options for:

• Time zone
• NTP synchronization

These settings help ensure that managed zTC devices use the correct time configuration for authentication, logging, certificates, and system operations.

---

Time Zone

Time zone configuration allows administrators to define the correct regional time setting for managed devices.

This is useful for deployments across multiple locations or time zones.

---

NTP Synchronization

NTP synchronization allows managed devices to maintain accurate time by syncing with a configured time source.

Accurate time synchronization is important for:

• Event logs
• Certificate validation
• Authentication workflows
• Scheduled operations
• Troubleshooting

---

Applying Date and Time Settings

Date and Time settings may be applied to:

• Individual zTC devices
• Groups of zTC devices

This allows administrators to standardize time configuration across managed endpoints.

---

Notes

• Date and Time setting availability may vary depending on device firmware and deployment configuration.
• Incorrect time settings may affect authentication, certificate validation, or event log accuracy.
• NTP synchronization should be configured carefully in environments that depend on accurate system time.
• Some time-related information may update dynamically while the device is online and communicating through zDM.
