I have an installation where the Host OS timezone is correct, but the Ignition Gateway time is 1 hour behind.  
I cannot find a timezone attribute in the ignition.conf file.  
How would I go about adding the timezone for Mountain Time Calgary ?

In the additional parameters section of ignition.conf you can add a line that sets `-Duser.timezone` to one of these: [https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12211/wcs/tag-ref/MISC/TimeZones.html](https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12211/wcs/tag-ref/MISC/TimeZones.html)
