Re: [Handle-info] changing the system time and GOT_EXPIRED_MESSAGE - help!

[Sean Reilly <sreilly@cnri.reston.va.us>]

Hi Jonathan,

It sounds like your system clock might have been made worse instead of  
better.  Can you make sure that your time zone is correct?  An expired  
message means that the timestamp on either the client or server was  
wildly off.  I believe there is a 12 hour window for clocks to be out  
of sync.  The reason for the window is to prevent third parties from  
re-sending signed messages after they have expired, which could be a  
security risk.

Can you make sure that the system time is actually correct on both the  
client and server.  You probably also want to check that the time zone  
set on each computer is correct as setting an incorrect time zone is  
an easy way to move a client or server outside the "window".

Thanks,
Sean
