Configure Time Settings
Note
The admin accounts for accessing an FMC using the shell and accessing an FMC using the web interface are
not the same, and may use different passwords.
The system includes ten predefined user roles designed for a variety of administrators and analysts using the
web interface. Creating a separate account for each person who uses the system allows your organization not
only to audit actions and changes made by each user, but also to limit each person's associated user access
role or roles. This is especially important on the FMC, where you perform most of your configuration and
analysis tasks. For example, an analyst needs access to event data to analyze the security of your network,
but may not require access to administrative functions for the deployment. See the
Center Configuration Guide
For information on externally-authenticated user accounts or user accounts in multi-domain deployments see
the
Firepower Management Center Configuration Guide

Configure Time Settings
Synchronizing the system time on your FMC and its managed devices is essential to successful operation of
your Firepower System. We recommend that you specify NTP servers within your network during FMC initial
configuration, but should that fail, you can add an NTP server after initial configuration is complete.
If your FMC is unable to reach an NTP server, see the
for your version for alternative ways to configure time for your Firepower deployment.
Procedure
Step 1
Choose System > Configuration > Time Synchronization.
Step 2
Disable the Serve Time via NTP option.
Step 3
Choose Via NTP for the Set My Clock option.
Step 4
For Versions 6.2 - 6.4:Click Add and enter the host name or IP address for an NTP server accessible from
your FMC. Then click Save.
For Versions 6.5+: Click Add and enter the host name or IP address for an NTP server accessible from your
FMC. Then click Add, then Save.
