Situation
Access Manager installed with both NetWare and Linux Access Gateway
devices. The NetWare Access Gateway 'Time and Date' settings allow
administrators to specify Daylight Savings Time (DST) options. The
Linux Access Gateway has no option to do this via the management
UI.
Resolution
Linux and netware have different ways of handling DST.
Netware has a static list containing the DST information for each
timezone. Timezone information can change at any time and
Netware has the ability to set this information on the command
line, so we have allowed DST information to be edited through the
management gui.
Linux, on the other hand, uses a compiled list from a timezone rpm that would need to be updated whenever a timezone changes their rules. Linux allows you to change the timezone from the command line, but not its details such as start and end times for DST. For this reason, the Access Administrator UI does not offer the DST setting option.
