Authelia has the ability to check the system time against an NTP server, which at the present time is checked only
|
|
during startup. This section configures and tunes the settings for this check which is primarily used to ensure
|
|
[TOTP](../second-factor/time-based-one-time-password.md) can be accurately validated.
|
|
|
|
In the instance of inability to contact the NTP server or an issue with the synchronization Authelia will fail to start
|
|
unless configured otherwise.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ntp:
|
|
address: "time.cloudflare.com:123"
|
|
version: 3
|
|
max_desync: 3s
|
|
disable_startup_check: false
|
|
disable_failure: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### address
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" default="time.cloudflare.com:123" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
Determines the address of the NTP server to retrieve the time from. The format is `<host>:<port>`, and both of these are
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
### version
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="integer" default="4" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
Determines the NTP version supported. Valid values are 3 or 4.
|
|
|
|
### max_desync
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="duration" default="3s" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
*__Note:__ This setting uses the [duration notation format](../prologue/common.md#duration-notation-format). Please see
|
|
the [common options](../prologue/common.md#duration-notation-format) documentation for information on this format.*
|
|
|
|
This is used to tune the acceptable desync from the time reported from the NTP server.
|
|
|
|
### disable_startup_check
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
Setting this to true will disable the startup check entirely.
|
|
|
|
### disable_failure
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
Setting this to true will allow Authelia to start and just log an error instead of exiting. The default is that if
|
|
Authelia can contact the NTP server successfully, and the time reported by the server is greater than what is configured
|
|
in [max_desync](#max_desync) that Authelia fails to start and logs a fatal error.
