Configure time settings for host
The server that hosts your VM should have a Time Configuration entered to ensure that it synchronizes its internal clock and calendar with an NTP server. It is important that the time be correct or you may experience problems with your certificates or with agent server communications.
Note: If your FortiNAC VM is already up and running, make sure to stop and restart the VM after you are done with the time configuration.
