Config sync authorization failure with non-default password
-
I have two pfsense 2.0.1 amd64 routers set up with the intent of making them a HA pair. I find that if I change the admin password on the slave, and then paste the password into CARP/Virtual IP/CARP Settings/Remote System Password, I receive the error, "[sync_settings]An authentication failure occurred while trying to access https://10.255.0.2:443 (pfsense.host_firmware_version)." Is there something I can do to have the settings sync without having to use the default password?
Thanks,

Actually, I think the problem is that when I change the password, it says it's saved, but when I log out, I have to use the default password.

Never mind, it does save.

Either reverting to 2.0 or using the LAN interface instead of the OPT1 (sync) interface for config replication seems to have helped the authentication problem for some reason. I'll test in a bit.
-
I changed the config sync IP address to the one on OPT1 interface that I'm using for pfsync, and it's working fine. Maybe this is a bug with 2.0.1, or something wrong with my previous configuration.

When you're syncing users, it syncs the admin password on the secondary, and then you have to change the admin password in the sync settings on the primary to match. That's usually what people don't change when it breaks after the first sync. It works fine in every version, you probably had something mismatched there from that.
