Cert Manager NOT syncing. How to diagnose?

[MrPete]

I have my XML-RPC working nicely... with one major exception.

Changes in System->Cert Manager are NOT synced to Backup.

I have not found any log errors.

Actually, many changes don't appear to be logged at all: deleting a Cert, adding a Cert. Only Cert updates.

QUESTIONS:

1. Is Cert sync supposed to work?
2. Any suggestions for diagnosing this?

Thanks!
Pete

@mrpete If that's about the ACME certificates the question was already answered in the other thread.

@jegr Nope.
I'm talking the built-in pfSense Cert Manager.

Solved it.

Diagnostic Method:

• Review ALL the basics...
  • Interfaces are same, same order (easiest for me: check the Interfaces menu item links :) )
  • XMLRPC Sync setup is correct: correct IP, login, pw on Master. NONE of those on Backup.
  • Sync setup is correct in other packages (depends on pkg)
• Fix any errors
• Now make a change in the area(s) that were not syncing

In my case:

• Oops: I had an IP still in "Sync Config to IP"
• Then, make small changes as needed...
  • changing one static DNS assign-> All transferred
  • changing one HAproxy item -> All transferred
  • changing one Cert item -> all sync'd incl old/bad certs gone

etc.
