# NTP
|
|
|
|
Authelia has the ability to check the system time against an NTP server. Currently this only occurs at startup. This
|
|
section configures and tunes the settings for this check which is primarily used to ensure [TOTP](./one-time-password.md)
|
|
can be accurately validated.
|
|
|
|
In the instance of inability to contact the NTP server Authelia will just log an error and will continue to run.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ntp:
|
|
address: "time.cloudflare.com:123"
|
|
version: 3
|
|
max_desync: 3s
|
|
disable_startup_check: false
|
|
disable_failure: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### address
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: string
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: time.cloudflare.com:123
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Determines the address of the NTP server to retrieve the time from. The format is `<host>:<port>`, and both of these are
|
|
required.
|
|
|
|
### version
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: integer
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: 4
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Determines the NTP verion supported. Valid values are 3 or 4.
|
|
|
|
### max_desync
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: duration
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: 3s
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
This is used to tune the acceptable desync from the time reported from the NTP server. This uses our
|
|
[duration notation](./index.md#duration-notation-format) format.
|
|
|
|
### disable_startup_check
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: boolean
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: false
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Setting this to true will disable the startup check entirely.
|
|
|
|
### disable_failure
|
|
<div markdown="1">
|
|
type: boolean
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-purple }
|
|
default: false
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-blue }
|
|
required: no
|
|
{: .label .label-config .label-green }
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
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. |
