How do Atlassian applications sync with a time source?

[Jeremy Hyer]

For example, was wondering if Crowd, Confluence, and/or JIRA's application time was synchronized with a centralized clock?

Hi Jeremy, the applications will use the system clock. So if all apps are running on the same server, you should not have any problems. However if they are not, then you need to make sure all server are synchronised with a NTP server.
