Environment

Novell iChain 2.3 Support Pack 5a (build 2.3.347)

Situation

iChain 2.3 SP5a (build 2.3.347)
How do I properly set my iChain 2.3 SP5a box to the Arizona timezone, which doesn't change for Daylight Savings Time (DST)?

Resolution

You must be on iChain 2.3 SP5a (build 2.3.347) or later, to properly handle DST issues.
To set your iChain 2.3 box for Arizona timezone (or a timezone like Arizona that doesn't follow DST...that doesn't change time with DST) you have to do the following:
1. In the iChain admin web gui, on the System->Timezone tab, select the Arizona timezone.
2. Click the "Apply" button.
3. Reboot the iChain box. NOTE: you must reboot for settings to properly take effect.
