Connecting to an NTP server

Good Afternoon.
I'm having a big problem connecting to an NTP server like www.worldTimeServer.com. I want to create a java application that can load time from such servers then display it in my time text field. I do not know how to start.
Can somebody teach me how to do it or give me a link that provides how-tos to do this.

There is a package provided by http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/
that have classes for ntp. I myself is new to this (very old) protocol but I'm
building an application that is needing this service so if
you find it helpful let me know.

Help with connecting to NIST NTP server on port 123

I can get NIST time in Daytime format using the rt_nist_date_time.llb example posted on ni.com, but I cannot connect to NIST NTP format time data using port 123. I freely admit to being over my head with this stuff, and have spent much of this Thanksgiving holiday reading about UDP and TCP.
The attached vi summarizes what I've tried so far. The UDP case is what I thought would work, but I can't come up with a network address that the UDP-open vi likes. Can anyone out there help this n00b tell the time?
The attached file is supposed to be in 8.0 format, although I'm working in 9.0
Here is a link discussing the time formats: http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm

THANK YOU!!! I don't think I ever would have come up with connecting the web address to a Read or Write UDP rather than the Open UDP block. Not to mention starting by opening port zero.
Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol. Here's a quick explanation in different words.
A udp packet travels from a [sourceIP, sourcePort] to a [DestinationIP, destinationPort].
UDP open basically reserves a local port used for sending (soucePort) and receiving (incoming packet with that same destinationPort). Since some local ports are always in use, you would generate an error if you would accidentally pick a used port. Picking zero is useful for requests (as in this case!), because the OS will pick an unused ephemeral port. The actual source port number does not matter because the NTP server will just send the reply packet back to whatever port it came from. (If you would write your own NTP server in LabVIEW, you would of course need to set the local port to 123, and would get a conflict if another NTP server is already running on your rig). Writing an NTP server in LabVIEW would be a trivial modification to the current code, try it! . Simply listen for packets on port 123, form a response packet based on the timestamp, and send it to whatever IP/Port it came from (that info is available from udp read) and then go back to listen for new requests.).
UDP write sends a packet to the server using the above opened local port as source port. You can use the same connectionID to write to several other servers and ports, because UDP is connectionless. (TCP is connection based, so a TCP connection involves a defined source/destination pair)
UDP read listens for incoming packets from all over the world at that same local port. It is very unlikely, but theoretically possible that other UDP packets will arrive at that same port, so you could even filter to make sure to read incoming packets until they match the port and IP of the original request. The current code is somewhat vulnerable to a DOS (denial of service) attack for example as follows: Imagine the guy in the next cubicle had means of sniffing your network traffic. He could write a small program that looks for your NTP requests and then immediately starts flooding your IP with meaningless UDP packets to the sourcePort you just used. The current program only reads one packet and thus will never see the return packet from the NTP server.
UDP close frees up the local port and the computer is now no longer listening for packets on that port. Of course you could keep the port open for the duration of the program, especially if you intend to send UDP request once in a while during execution.
Makes sense?

any reasons as this is the first time I am trying to synch to an NTP server.

Do you have any ACL input in Gateway...disable one moment for test...it could be a problem from your ISP or ISP filter/Firewall input/output?? Could you try with another NTP server...

Error: Cannot connect to NTP server or NTP server is not running - Cisco IPS

This is different scenario here:
I have two Cisco IPS 4260-k9 and both are in production now.
One of the IPSs is configured with NTP and works fines, but another one is not.
When tried to configure when the device is ON and live in production and got the following error,
Error from CLI:
" Error: Cannot connect to NTP server or NTP server is not running "
Error from IME:
" Delivery failed.
err Unaccepable Value - cannot connect to the NTP server or NTP server is not running"
I am able to reach the NTP server, also the same NTP is working fine with other devices....
Am I doing anything wrong?
Please advise

Hi,
Now the error has changed:
Session.connect: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
I have increased the pooling interval to 1 Hr from 1 Min. Waiting for the next pooling interval result.
Guide me if I am heading right.... or anything else needs to be done.

How to diagnose NTP server problem during boot-up?

We're having a problem on our campus network where Macs aren't able to use the time.apple.com NTP server to correct the time during boot-up. Once the user logs in, open the Date & Time pref pane causes the time to be corrected.
I've noticed this problem for quite a while but it's really been just a minor inconvenience. Then some users started using Boot Camp and it became a bigger inconvenience because their Mac time is wrong by 4 hours when they return to OS X from Windows XP. It has now become something that we need to address because we have set up a lab with iMacs all configured with Boot Camp and set up to authenticate off of our Active Directory server, which requires that the time be correct on the iMacs when the user tries to log in.
We'd like to monitor the network traffic on Mac during boot-up to see if we can figure out why this is happening. My person theory is that something that the network admins have the network configured to do when it first sees a new computer is causing enough of a delay in the DHCP process that the Mac doesn't have a network connection when the NTP server call would normally be made. The college has a DSL line that is not part of our network and NTP server time correction works correctly on it.
We're looking for the best way to capture the activity on the Mac and the network traffic at boot-up. Here are the things that we're looking into.
1) Verbose mode - Interesting looking but it goes by pretty quickly and I don't have time to read all of that info. Is this recorded in a log automatically somewhere or is there a way to capture this info?
2) Single user mode - I haven't been able to determine whether the NTP server call should have occurred by the time I get a prompt in Single User Mode. If so, is there a command I could use here that would give me a dump of activity and network traffic up to this point?
3) I have Interarchy which will let me record network traffic but as far as I can tell there's isn't a way to use this feature during boot-up. Am I wrong about that?
4) Someone suggested using Ethereal which appears to require Fink when installed. I can't tell if this will work during boot for if it's an app that I can only run after logging in (like Interarchy). Does anyone know how this works?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Turns out it was a network timing issue. The DHCP server wasn't providing the IP address quick enough (never figured out why, though).

ASA5500 using Windows 7 computer as NTP server

I have an ASA5510 connected to a computer running Windows 7 (the NTP Server) on its "inside" interface.
Using the ASDM, I have configured the ASA5510 to use the Windows 7 as its NTP server (my architecture forces me to use a local machine as an NTP server):
     -IP address: 192.0.99.1 (the ASA5510 has an IP address of 192.0.99.40)
     -Interface: inside
     -Key number: None
     -Enable NTP authentication: no.
I have other Windows computers on the "inside" interface using the NTP Server, so NTP traffic is relayed without any problem. But somehow, the ASA5510 is not able to synchronize with the NTP Server.
I see the following log entry:
     -Source IP: 192.0.99.1
     -Source Port: 123
     -Destination IP: 192.0.99.40
     -Destination port: 65535
     -Description: Teardown UDP connection 3905 for inside: 192.0.99.1/123 to identity: 192.0.99.40/65535 duration 0:02:01 bytes 96
so it seems like the ASA5510 sends a request to the NTP Server, but I am not sure whether the reply doesn't get processed correctly, or the connection stays open too long (my UDP connection timeout is the default, 2 minutes).
I had trouble getting SonicWALL NSA2400s to use Windows 7 devices as NTP servers. I had to get a firmware version where there was no MD5 authentication (which I think is OK in this case), and change a setting in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/W32Time/Config/AnnounceFlags: from 0xa to 0x5)
any insight is welcome.

Hi rosch,
Based on your description, please check if disable the "Time synchronization" Integration service. Please refer
to the following operation.
In Hyper-V Manager, right click the DC and select “Settings…”.
In the left panel of Settings, navigate to Integration Services and click it.
Then in the right panel, please uncheck Time synchronization.
By the way, please check if can connect to the time server and UDP port was opened for NTP.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

CER 7.1.1 install - no NTP server option

Trying to install CER 7.1.1. When I get to the Network Time Protocol Client Configuration window it prompts me to put in an NTP server IP address. The install never prompts me to configure an NTP server or not. The install doc says that I should get prompted to choose NTP or not, just like a CUCM install. Did I do something wrong? I tried it several times and get the same thing. I have a Not For Resale disc and this is in a lab. Is there something special about that disc? I don't want to use NTP but I configured a Win2K3 server to be the NTP server, it's reachable but the install can never connect to it. Needless to say, I can't finish the install. Below is what I get.
Network Time Protocol Client Configuration
NTP Server 1 ---------
NTP Server 2 ---------
NTP Server 3 ----------
NTP Server 4 ----------
NTP Server 5 ----------
There is no option to choose No NTP. You either have to put in an NTP server or you can't move on with the installation.

Thanks for the replies. I was using an installation guide, below, that shows the option to choose NTP or not on step 18. Is the document wrong then? In any case, I tried the hacks for Windows, no go. I tried Linux NTP {Ubuntu], no go. Otherwise, I just have a voice gateway and a 3524 that doesn't do NTP server. Any suggestions on getting Linux to work with CER NTP? Thanks.
Step 18 On the Network Time Protocol Client Configuration page, you are asked if you want to set up external Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers.
Note Cisco strongly recommends that you use external NTP servers to ensure that the system time is kept accurate.
If you click Yes, the system displays a second Network Time Protocol Client Configuration page. In the fields provided, enter the IP address or hostname of the external NTP servers, then click OK. The Database Access Security Configuration page displays. Skip to Step 19.
If you click No, the Hardware Clock Configuration page appears. Enter the following information:
• Year [yyyy]
• Month [mm]
• Day [dd]
• Hour [hh]
• Minute [mm]
• Second [ss]
When you have finished entering this information, click OK. The Database Access Security Configuration page appears.

NTP server unreachable through ASA firewall

Hi all,
I've configured a DMZ switch to point to an NTP server on on the Inside, but I get a debug message on the switch that says:
NTP: <NTP server IP address> unreachable
I'm confident that the NTP server is configured properly, as there are more than a dozen other hosts using it, successfully. The difficulty here is that the NTP packets are having to flow from the DMZ to the Inside. I have a rule set on the firewall that permits the IP address of the switch to connect to the IP address of the NTP server as follows:
access-list intdmz1_acl extended permit udp host <IP address of switch> host <IP address of NTP server> eq ntp
I can see the hit counter on this rule incrementing.
The firewall can ping the NTP server, and the NTP server can ping the switch, so I think routing is OK.

I'm guessing we should see some packets in the second capture, but we're not...
Does this help?

BO 4.0: Database error:Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon

Hello Experts,
I have enabled a 'SSO to database' between SAP BW and Business objects by referencing to the documents related to below link.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtosetupSSOagainstSAPBWinSBOBI4.0forLDAPusers
I have created a universe connection with option 'use single sign on when refreshing reports at view time' and have created a universe on top of my BEx query by log-in to the universe designer tools using my LDAP account.
Now when I run the report with either SAP account or LDAP - I am able to run a adhoc webi report on this universe and get data either through the webi rich client or via BO 4.0 Info-view/Launch Pad.
But the issue is that when other users are trying to run webi queries on this universe either through Info-view/launch pad or rich client by log-in via LDAP Authentication - they get the below error: I have given SAP_ALL to this user for time being and also have done the necessary configuration for 'simple user format' in CMC so these user has 1 account with 3 alias definitions: Enterprise, SAP, R/3.
Database error: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data -
If the user logs on into the BO 4.0 Info-view/launch pad or webi rich client using his SAP authentication than he is able to run and retrieve data.
I also get a dump in the SAP BW system - I analyzed the dump in SAP BW using st22 tcode and it gives the error short text as - Incomplete logon data and run-time error - CALL_FUNCTION_SIGNON_INCOMPL
Desired outcome:
I want the users to log-in to webi rich client or BO 4.0 Launch pad/Info-view using their 'LDAP' authentication and run reports against the universe on SAP BW/BEx query without any errors or additional username/password requirements.
Can someone please tell me if I am missing any steps/configuration and guide me to achieve the above mentioned desired result ?
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
CD.

Whether your problem is solved?
We have the same problem in BO Mobile.
Two users from one BW-role, BO-groups; one user report is executed, another user - error incomplete logon data. In Web Intelligence both users reports succeeds.

How do I connect to a terminal server with my mac book pro

How do I connect to a terminal server with my mac book pro

Use the Remote Desktop icon on the tray and make sure to use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) on the 'name of server' field. If that does not work then use the IP address to connect.

Mac computers in the office are not able to connect to our exchange server.

We started facing this problem about a month ago in our office where the apple computers can not connect to the exchange server via outlook or applemail or anything for that matter. All the other computers can connect to the exchange server with no problems
and the apple computers can even access the exchange server via OWA but the outlook and applemail apps would not connect to exchange. We have tried even deleting and re-creating some accounts on the apps but they still would not connect. At this point I am
at a complete loss and I looked everywhere through google to find out if anyone else has faced this problem but to no avail.
A little background information. This specific problem started happening after there was an un-expected series of power outages to the servers and they were shut down un-expectedly. I personally restored the servers and turned on all the services and made
sure everything was up and running after the power outages and everything was working fine. Also the first instance of the problem with the mac computers only happened two days after the servers were back up and running again and they had no issues in those
two days.
Right now we do not have that many mac users in our offices (only 3-4 users) and I have instructed them to use the OWA in the meanwhile but it is however an inconvenience to them. By now you may have realized that I am not a very experienced server admin
and I would really really appreciate any help. I extend my thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the reply.
Right now I have Apple mail and Outlook installed on my mac laptop and both the applications do not connect to the exchange server. Apple Mail simply does a long process when I give my credentials to create my account and then it gives an error saying it
could not find the server while outlook quickly tells me that either the username or password is incorrect. At the same time I can connect to the server through outlook on my windows computer without any problems whatsoever.
From your reply, I gather that the VIA headers only affect Apple mail and should not affect Outlook app on the mac but right now, neither apps are connecting to the exchange server.
Either way I am trying to find out how to remove the VIA headers because it does not seem that we are using Kemp on the exchange server. Right now I do not have the in depth knowledge that I need because I was not involved in the implementation of our server
system, that was taken care of by a service provider and I was put in charge of mostly simple admin work. Now we are out of contract with the service provider so pretty much everything has fallen onto my shoulders.
If possible, would you mind pointing me in the right direction to finding out if I am using a L7 load balancer and how I would go about removing the VIA headers?

Taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server

taking too much time and not connecting to ipad software server and not updating.. why

because everyone is doing the same thing you are... be patient, and you will get the update... I had to grab the update over 3G (it won't let you download or install, but it got me in the door) and then switch back to wifi and download and install.
