Fortinet 92 FortiWeb 5.0 Patch 6 Administration Guide
3. If you want FortiWeb to automatically synchronize its clock with an NTP server
(recommended), configure these settings:
Otherwise, select Set Time, then manually set the current date and time. If you want
FortiWeb to automatically adjust its own clock when its time zone changes between daylight
saving time (DST) and standard time, enable Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving
changes.The clock will be initialized with your manually specified time when you click OK.
4. Click OK.
If you manually configured the time, or if you enabled NTP and the NTP query for the current
time succeeds, the new clock time should appear in System time. (If the query reply is slow,
you may need to wait a couple of seconds, then click Refresh to update the display in
System time.)
If the NTP query fails, the system clock will continue without adjustment. If FortiWeb’s time
was 3 hours late, for example, the time will still be 3 hours late. Verify your DNS server IPs,
your NTP server IP or name, routing, and that your firewalls or routers do not block or proxy
UDP port 123.
Setting name Description
Synchronize with NTP
Server
Select this option to automatically synchronize the date and
time of the FortiWeb appliance’s clock with an NTP server,
then configure the Server and Sync Interval fields before you
click Apply.
Server Type the IP address or domain name of an NTP server or
pool, such as pool.ntp.org. To find an NTP server that you
can use, go to http://www.ntp.org.
Sync Interval Enter how often in minutes the FortiWeb appliance should
synchronize its time with the NTP server. For example,
entering 1440 causes the FortiWeb appliance to synchronize
its time once a day.
NTP requires that FortiWeb be able to connect to the Internet on UDP port 123.
