HA Cluster - Password ENC portion of the configuration

[heyyo]

Hi, I have an HA setup, but firewalls are currently out of sync.

Tried to check the configuration for both firewalls, and seeing the difference is only ENC value for the password. Is it normal to have different ENC value for password for HA configuration?

I have tried to recalculate the checksums already but still getting an out of sync status.

Thanks!

The ENC value keeps changing on the Fortigate, that ideally should not be the reason for the out of sync.  One relevant article the explains this behaviour - https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Constant-changing-of-password-and-encrypte...

For the ha out of sync issue, did you go over all the steps mentioned here -
