KB-28478: What is the method used to sync time when using CentrifyDC adclient.sntp.enabled setting?

Authentication Service ,

Question:
 
How does Centrify adjust the time drift in case it is out of sync, when using the following setting in the /etc/centrify/centrifyd.conf file?
 
adclient.sntp.enabled: true
 
Does it forcefully reset the time or does it drift in seconds to match the correct time?
 

Answer:
 
When using the setting adclient.sntp.enabled: true in the centrifydc.conf, the CentrifyDC agent will do a force change of the time to sync it to the correct time, not a gradual change.
