Audit Logging Time - Entrust nShield Security Manual

9.5. Audit Logging time

The Date and Time provides guidance on correctly setting the time for the nShield
Connect clock and RTC. If NTP is enabled then the nShield Connect clock will
synchronize to that. Both clock times will appear in the Audit Log and in other logs listed
in Logging and debugging. The nShield Connect's clock (if not synchronized to NTP) and
RTC are subject to drift and should be regularly set using an accurate trusted local time
source.
With regard to the Audit Log we recommend only accepting that the nShield Connect
and RTC time stamps represent the actual time if they match each other within a
reasonable margin of error.
