Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent 2.2 Release Notes

For web agents, support is added to adjust the policy clock skew (6608463)

If the time on the web agent host machine differs from the Access Manager time, you might occasionally see an incorrect policy decision or an infinite re-direction. The following new property in AMAgent.properties adjusts the clock skew between the web agent and Access Manager machines:

com.sun.am.policy.agents.config.policy_clock_skew

This properties specifies the time in seconds used to adjust the time difference between the policy agent machine and the Access Manager machine, as follows:

Clock skew in seconds = AgentTime - AccessManagerTime

The default is zero (0).

You should also run a time syncing service to keep the time on the agent machine and the Access Manager machine as close as possible.
