New users' LEL timezone defaults to GMT


Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

The timezone for a new user always gets defaulted to GMT. This requires administrators to update the user preference everytime a new user is created.

Symptom

When a new user logs in to the WebGUI, the events timezone is set incorrectly in the Lightweight Event List.


Cause

The default timezone for new users is set to the wrong timezone.

Resolving the problem

Edit the timezone setting in the following file on the WebGUI server:

$TIP_HOME/profiles/TIPProfile/etc/webtop/system/userdefaults.props

You can change the timezone to your local timezone. For example, the timezone setting can be change to GMT+08:00 as follows:

timezone:GMT+08:00

Restart the server for the changes to take effect.
