I'm using Apple Enterprise Connect 1.7.1 I normally don't log out.
And when I log back in from "sleep mode" I'm getting this popup after I log in:
"System Clock - Your Mac's date or time is incorrect. Please correct this issue and try again."
time is set to "time.apple.com" and when I get the popup I see the time and date is correct.
I just click "ok" and on the "EC" icon I right click and select "Reconnect" and it connects fine.

This might be related. Time on Macs has been allowed drift since ~2013. Apple is no longer using NTP directly from source, it's been changed so that time updates itself less frequently; as I understand it this was done to save power. I have a policy that runs that syncs the time once a day with our local NTP server. This might not be your issue, but I've seen strange time problems with machines coming out of sleep related to this.

/usr/sbin/ntpdate -u serverurlhere

Alternatively you can compile NTP from source if you want to.
