[cisco-voip] [External] Error Processing SAML Response

The error message in the Cisco traces (SSO) is:

2021-09-15 16:07:43,791 DEBUG [http-nio-81-exec-22] fappend.SamlLogger -
SAML2Utils.checkConditions: NotOnOrAfter Condition = Wed Sep 15 22:07:44
UTC 2021   *-  this time is 17:07:44 CDT*

2021-09-15 16:07:43,791 DEBUG [http-nio-81-exec-22] fappend.SamlLogger -
SAML2Utils.checkConditions: NotBefore Condition = Wed Sep 15 21:07:44 UTC
2021      *-  this time is 16:07:44 CDT*

2021-09-15 15:25:10,642 ERROR [http-nio-81-exec-10]
authentication.SAMLAuthenticator - Error while processing saml response The
time in the Assertion's Condition is invalid.
com.sun.identity.saml2.common.SAML2Exception: The time in the Assertion's
Condition is invalid.

Basically what appears to be occurring is we get a NotBefore of 1 second
after our request came in (16:07:43) and it gets killed....

The real question is what they need to do on the ADFS side to fix this...
why are they sending us a time in the future? The argument is NTP is off by
one second for one of the servers (all of them show synched)...
