Crowd catalina.out logs shows different date format at startup
Problem
At startup, Crowd shows logs in US formatting like Feb 14,201711:30:00 AM and then switches to standard formatting like 2017-02-14 11:30:00
See the following catalina.out logs as an example:

Environment
- Tomcat 7
Cause
Tomcat 7 by default bases the date formatting off of locale, this was changed in Tomcat 8. In Crowd, both Tomcat and log4j write to the catalina.out file which is why there is a mix of dates.
Resolution
- Stop Crowd
Add the following to the end of <crowd-install>/apache-tomcat/conf/logging.properties
# Added to change date/time format 1catalina.java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%1$tF %1$tT %2$s%n%4$s: %5$s%6$s%n- Start Crowd
