AdminDesktop: Installation/Upgrade Validation Needs to Check IMS System Clock and Target Server for Accuracy

With the introduction of JWT authentication scheme in Workflow Manager/Universal Viewer, it's critical to have the clock of any system making a JWT session request to Middle Tier in sync with the IMS system time. If the IMS clock is not accurate (or vice versa), the JWT tokens will be invalid.

AdminDesktop validates entries in the Installation/Upgrade deployment page and currently does not check for this. Thus, an installer can deploy a UV/WFM Node in a non-functional state.


Enhancing the validation function in AdminDesktop would help mitigate this problem.
