Group Access Times

The RSA7.1 endpoint stores group access times as UTC but displays them using the RSA7 Server local time. To make it easier for group administrators to set the access times relevant to other time zones, the RSA Security Console provides the ability to select a time zone and displays the group access times relevant to the select time zone. However, the selected time zone is not stored. Each time the page is displayed the time zone control defaults to the RSA server local time.

Due to limitations in the RSA API, the RSA SecurID 7.1 Connector cannot return the RSA server local time. To resolve this limitation, a time zone attribute has been added to the RSA7.1 endpoint dialog, General 1 tab. You can use this attribute to specify the time zone to use for group access times. This attribute defaults to UTC. All times displayed or entered for group access are assumed to be for this time zone.

This solution is also applicable to time zones specified for trusted user groups.
