glide.authenticate.sso.saml2.clockskew

AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property glide.authenticate.sso.saml2.clockskew defines the allowable time difference, in seconds, between the system clock of ServiceNow and that of the SAML 2.0 identity provider during authentication. Its default value is 180, meaning a three-minute tolerance is applied to account for clock drift or synchronization issues between systems. Increasing this value can help reduce authentication errors if system clocks are not precisely aligned, but it also extends the window in which a SAML assertion is considered valid, which may slightly weaken security. Conversely, lowering the value enforces stricter time alignment, enhancing security but increasing the likelihood of login failures in environments where time synchronization is not reliable. Administrators adjust this property primarily in the context of single sign-on troubleshooting, balancing authentication reliability with the security needs of their organization.
