                  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
