DataPower name requirements when creating Custom Time Settings

Troubleshooting


Problem

When you are creating custom time settings in the Web GUI from the Configure Time Settings screen (Administration → Device → Time Settings), with the local time zone field selected as Custom, the documentation for the name field is misleading

Symptom

If the user attempts to use invalid characters such as parentheses in the name the custom time zone will be displayed as UTC time.
