[caasp-beta] CaaSP, certificates and date/time

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

as you should have noticed, the administration dashboard of CaaSP generates
a certificate during the first login for communication with the cluster.
Such a certificate only works, if the date/time on all machines in the
cluster is correct.

Our cloud-init documentation contains an example, how to configure ntpd
with cloud-init during the first boot.
If you don't want to use cloud-init, please configure ntpd yourself.
If you don't want to use ntpd, you could also use systemd-timesyncd.
For this, adjust /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf and enable it with:
# timedatectl set-ntp true 

For Beta3 we will think about a mechanism to automatically setup
time synchronisation in the cluster.

  Thorsten
