Synchronizing the System Clock With chronyd

To minimize the effects of time drift, you must synchronize the system clock on the base operating system on which you want to install {ProductName} with Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. If the base operating system clock is configured incorrectly, certificate verification might fail.

For more information about the chrony suite, see Using the Chrony suite to configure NTP in {RHEL} 8 Configuring basic system settings.

Procedure

1. Install the chrony package:

   # {client-package-install-el8} chrony

2. Start and enable the chronyd service:

   # systemctl enable --now chronyd
