FileWave Server Time

Accurate FileWave Server time matters for certificate validation, authentication, scheduled work, and device communication. Use automatic time synchronization rather than relying on occasional manual corrections, and verify the clock and time zone when troubleshooting certificate or check-in problems.

macOS

On a macOS FileWave Server, configure automatic date and time in System Settings and confirm that the selected time source is reachable from the server.

Linux

FileWave Debian appliance images include NTP synchronization enabled. For a self-installed Debian server, enable automatic NTP synchronization and confirm the server can reach its configured time source.
