        2.4.4 is outdated, you need to update to 2.5.2

                    Just do what you need to do - XMLRPC sync only restarts affected system services and restarts all packages
                  • Will there be an interruption of service after applying this configuration define above ?
                    Nope - because these are only changes on the backup node

                    Ok thank you for your reply @viktor_g but to be clear on different steps :

                    1. On primary pfsense on System -> User Manager, I modify password of admin local account
                    2. On Primary pfsense on System -> High Availability Settings, just need to tick the option Synchronize admin ?

                    That's correct ? do you confirm ?

                    Thanks a lot for your help at this topic

                        switch it:

                        1. On Primary pfsense on System -> High Availability Settings, just need to tick the option Synchronize admin (now your admin account password will automatically sync on each change)
                        2. On primary pfsense on System -> User Manager, I modify password of admin local account
