Geneva Server uses local time for ValidTo/ValidFrom attributes of RelyingParties

Whenthe RelyingParty is added to Geneva Server, that is running in GMT-8 timezone (PST) from themachine running in GMT+3 timezone the RelyingParty becomes unmanageable: On the remote machine PoliceManager.GetScope throws exception
'ADMIN0023: Incorrect value for property ValidTo: 31.12.2099 8:00:00' and
the AdministrationConsole on the Geneva Server machine throws exception
'ADMIN0023: Incorrect value for property ValidFrom: 31.12.1899 ...'
Adjusting timezone on Geneva Server has effect only after restarting the IdentityServer service.

PolicyManager is not supported as public API for Geneva Server. In fact the classes will no longer be public. Is it possible to use PowerShell remoting capabilities for administering Geneva Server remotely?

The problem you are seeing is with Trust Monitoring schedule of Relying Party object. Have you used Geneva Administration UI to create Relying Party object? Also I don't understand "On the remote machine PolicyManager.GetScope throws exception" - last release of of Geneva Administration UI does not provide remoting administration capabilities.

With Geneva Administration UI all is fine becauseboth UI and Geneva Serverare executed on the same machine. We are using the 'Microsoft.IdentityServer.Shared.dll' for remote administration of Geneva server (especially RelyingParties).

Mieszko, thank you for your answer!
We'llconvert our code to use PowerShell.
