What is the Admin user Password Change Behavior in HA?

• Next-Gen Firewalls
• Supported PAN-OS
• High Availability (HA) Active/Passive

1. Password changes for Administrator users (Device > Administrators) take effect immediately, even before a commit is performed.
2. A commit is required to save the change to the configuration; otherwise, the password will revert to the previous version after a reboot.
3. In an HA pair, the password change will not sync to the passive device until a commit is executed on the active device to trigger Config Sync.

To change the password using CLI, use the procedure below:

admin@PA-VM> configure
admin@PA-VM# set mgt-config users <username> password
Enter password   :
Confirm password :
admin@PA-VM# commit
