Daylight Savings Time (DST) will start in U.S.A from the 2nd Sunday of March and end on the 1st Sunday of November. This will impact the date and time rules of the operating system and JRE. In the standalone version of Proxy Server, the JRE version compatible with 2007 DST changes is bundled with the installer. However, you need to address the impact on the date and time rules of the operating system by installing the appropriate operating system patches as explained in Step 1 of the Workaround. For the Java ES 5 installation of Proxy Server, you need to install the operating system patches and also the compatible version of JRE. Follow Step 1 and Step 2 of the workaround. Workaround
