Feedback:
Enable Configuration Synchronization (XMLRPC Sync)
- Enter admin for the Remote System Username (other usernames will not work) - It is outdated. A new user can be created on the primary with hasync permission. After config is synced to secondary a newly created user can be used.

A few extra notes from an overlapping entry in the internal Redmine:
The book still shows you can only use admin but that is no longer true:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/highavailability/example-redundant-configuration.html#configure-configuration-synchronization-xml-rpcThe 'wiki' docs do not say that but only use the admin user as an example:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/highavailability/configuring-high-availability.html#enable-state-synchronization-pfsyncImportantly nowhere mentions that the user used MUST either be the admin user or have the 'System HA node sync' privilege. Being in the default admins group in not sufficient.
