PingIntelligence

Configuring the time zone in ABS

You can configure time zone API Behavioral Security (ABS).

About this task

To configure PingIntelligence, complete the following steps:

Steps

  • Configure the timezone parameter in /pingidentity/abs/config/abs.properties file to set up ABS AI Engine in either local or UTC time zone.

    If the timezone parameter is left empty, ABS runs in the UTC time zone by default.

    Example:

    The following is a snippet of the abs.properties file for the timezone parameter.

    # Set the timezone to utc or local. The default timezone is utc.
timezone=utc  <truncated abs.properties...>

    Make sure that API Security Enforcer (ASE), ABS AI Engine, and PingIntelligence are all configured in the same time zone.

    Choose from:

    • If ABS AI Engine is deployed in a cluster, make sure to configure the same time zone on each cluster node.

    • If you have used manual installation, then you need to manually configure the time zone on each ABS node.

      You can use the Admin REST API to check the current time zone setting of ABS AI Engine. If you have used automated deployment to deploy PingIntelligence, the automated deployment configures the same time zone on each ABS node.

  • To change the time zone in ABS AI Engine:

    1. Stop ABS AI Engine.

    2. Update the timezone parameter in the abs.propeties file.

    3. Start ABS AI Engine.
