Set System Time
For logging purposes and other time-sensitive tasks (such as SSL certificate generation), the time on the
Clean Access Manager and Clean Access Servers needs to be correctly synchronized. The System Time
tab lets you set the time on the Clean Access Manager and modify the time zone setting for the Clean
Access Manager operating system.
After CAM and CAS installation, you should synchronize the time on the CAM and CAS before
regenerating a temporary certificate on which a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) will be based. The
easiest way to ensure this is to automatically synchronize time with the time server (Sync Current Time
button).
Note The time set on the CAS must fall within the creation date/expiry date range set on the CAM’s SSL
certificate. The time set on the user machine must fall within the creation date/expiry date range set on
the CAS’s SSL certificate.
The time can be modified on the CAS under Device Management > CCA Servers > Manage [CAS_IP]
> Misc > Time. See the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Server Configuration Guide, Release
4.9(x) for details.
To view the current time:
1. Go to Administration > CCA Manager > System Time.
2. The system time for the Clean Access Manager appears in the Current Time field.
Figure 14-4 System Time
There are two ways to adjust the system time: manually, by typing in the new time, or automatically, by
synchronizing from an external time server.
